Or should I send it? The torpedo really sticks out, I wonder how affective it is. The reels seem complicated but I want to learn how to use them, I already cleaned them up and re-greased them.
Maybe sell on eBay?
I don’t see vintage tackle selling for much money very often.
The market is just so saturated with new and old tackle.
Display them.

As someone who buys a fair amount of vintage tackle, this would probably not be a hot selling lot. Lures might bring 50-75$ but it may take a while to sell on market place. The older Abu reels may bring $30 a piece depending on your local market. I would fish it. Fishing vintage gear is fun.

Use it, it still works just fine. Some of those old Abu reels are bulletproof.

Nothing of high value. All of it will still catch fish though. I still use vintage tackle including old direct drive reels, and it is a blast. Many of the old lures have a better action than the mass produced lures of today.

Lures are crazy hard to sell.
Every time I try to sell an Abu locally I get nothing but low ball offers but then I put it up on eBay and price it 20% higher or let it auction and do well enough that the 13% they take is okay.
In your case that means you can maybe get $50 each for those instead of getting a bunch of offers for $20 on OfferUp
