Default Garbage dig

I dug a couple of vintage rods and reels from a garbage pile.

In my discovery was an old reel made by the A.H. Fox Gun Co. circa 1931-32. It is a little beat up but still functions.
Never heard of it, so I Googled it. If it were in better shape it would be worth a lot more as A.H. Fox is a reknown American builder of fine double barrel shotguns. Also scored a Penn reel, Bass Pro IMG8 spinning rod (like new) and a couple of vintage rods. One was made by True Temper. Another rod is Hexagonal, all fiberglass, I think. One half of a rod that appears to be a surf rod (missing the butt end)
Hope to get some pictures up soon so yall can help me to identify what I have.
It all goes on the wall.
