Penn International 12T

We lost our brother in law last November. My nephew is going through mounds of stuff and found this NIB reel he can only surmise was given to his father as a gift. Is this a collectible or just an older iteration of the reel ? I just kayak fish and surfcast, never been on a party boat or charter and probably never will. My sons and nephew don’t fish.

what seem is it?

See subject title

Maybe post a picture. There's a few different variations.

Sorry for your loss. He must have been a pretty good guy is someone gifted him an International.

I don't know if it's going to be particularly valuable or collectible, probably depends on it's age. But I wouldn't take it on a party boat or a charter.

the bag, not pictured, has a plaque from the gifters to my BIL.

Nice reel.

When I'm trying to dope out the value of something like that I look at eBay "Completed Listings" and look at what actual sales were.

People can ask anything, but sales tell you what people are really willing to pay.

There was only one new one listed which sold for $365.

Used ones varied from $89 for a tired one to $330 for a Cal Sheets modified reel. Realistic numbers for a healthy used reel were probably about $200-$250.

Hope that helps.

New, never used, never even spooled. Waiting for SIL's reply. His urn is at Calverton, this could be displayed at home as it has an engraved little thank you plaque on the zipper bag.

better pics, leaving out a pic of the thankyou plaque on the green zippered bag

I understand this is a difficult process, but I'm not sure what you're asking.

Are you looking to value the reel for sale, or sentiment, or people's opinion of its presentation? 😕

Sorry for my creating confusion. I am waiting to make sure my SIL definitely wants me to sell it. If she does I will post it on FB Marketplace where I have sold quite a bit of varied stuff.
