reel prices in old catalogue

Post by JimmyBobkin »

I have an old Bennetts of Sheffield catalogue which was given away free in the Angling Times and I wondered what year it was issued? It would be interesting to see how much these items would cost today? Some examples;

Reels

Mitchell Standard 300 £6.19.6
Mitchell Cap 304 £3.19.6
Hardy Exalta (new model) £13.s5.0
Hardy Altex no2 £14.12.3
Ambidex £6.6.0
Felton Crosswind £9.12.0
Rapidex £4.7.6
Trudex £3.13.6
Allcocks Aerial 3 1/2 inch £6.18

Any ideas which year?

My guess would be early 60s.Does it say what mk the Ambidex or the Altex number 2 are? :Hat:
