was digging through some of my Dad's old fishing equipment and came across this, seemingly never used, L.L. Bean guide series 200 reel made in Redditch, England and am wondering if it is worth anything? is there anything special about it (besides that its my papas)?

I TRIED POSTING PICTURES BUT THEY WONT UPLOAD--please help ):

Many of these reels came of Redditch by JW Young and were made for various manufactures, Sage, Diawa, Shakespeare, etc. Does this one have the spool that is part plastic? With that being said, the inner section of the spool. Great little clicker of a reel with rim control for palming and a good check, solid and can take a beating. I have the Sage 108 m that i use on a 4wt. trout spey. You could probably fetch around $80+ for it being never used. I would keep it in the family and fish it. Could have some good MOJO!!!

Depending on year made, it could be a Young Beaudex or 1530 re-badged. The value is about right.
