I have these two used Shakespeare reels pictured below. The one on the left is the Shakespeare "Ausable" model 1864 GK. The smaller one on the right is Shakespeare "Russel" model 1867 GK. Both are in very good condition mechanically, cosmetically some scratching from use. They are both painted the same glossy Hunter Green, the Ausable has an adjustable drag and the Russel is a simple click/pawl. Any idea as to the desirability of either of these reels. I have been approached in a trade for these, along with some other equipment. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
