Answer 1

I couldn't find much on J.C.Higgins reels. I do know that they were sold by sears. However you can go to this website and ask about  more information on it.  http://antiquefishingreels.info/FAQbrand...

Also, you can go to bassmaster.com and look for the section on "what's it worth" shoot them an e-mail and they will answer you back

Answer 2

It looks like it's going for $12.99 on eBay and might look nice on a wall, but I doubt I would fish with it.

I tried Google, but didn't find much on how to use it, or instructions.

Another J.C. Higgins model was going for 4 bucks, while I thought one was going for $99...Hmmm?

Apparently it was a Sears brand/ line of outdoor gear, including firearms.

Answer 3

not to sure but i collect a lot of old reels and they're normally worth a pretty penny. as for sears i have an old tackle box that has a push button to open it....now tell me how many people u know that can say they  have a button to open their tackle box?  even though it's not worth much it's still pretty cool.
