Does anyone have any information on the value of a Edward Vom Hofe fishing reel PAT. July 1496. It has all parts and has the leather stop. Thanks.

I just acquired an early 1900s Edward Vom Hofe leather tackle box in mint condition. Trays are intact. It is full of deep sea fishing hooks and spinners. Velvet is good. What do I do with this? Thanking you in advance, David

I ahve acquired today a Edw.Vom Hofe 3 1/2 reel in really good condition and was wondering if anyone has an idea of its value. It has the standard lubrication covers that rotate to reveal the oil ports, both of which are stamped Edw vom Hofe, with pat dates of 1883.

I recently found an Edward Vom Hofe 355 fly reel in size 3 1/2 which has a flat back with a screw off bearing cap rather than the usual stamped sliding bearing cover. The foot is stamped 355 and 3 1/2, the front plate and crank are EVH 355, and the check button on the back is EVH. Has anyone eve seen an EVH 355 with a flat back and screw off bearing cap?
