Hi,
Thanks for posting photo.
Nice find, the 30C1 and the 30 A1 (A1 had no drag) are the smallest reels Alvey made and came out in the late 60's.
Not a common reel to find in Australia. I believe quite a few of these made there way to USA and Canada where they were popular for Salmon fishing.
They came with and without a line guide
The value is always what someone is prepared to pay but as a guide
around $50-75.

the 30C1's were /are definitely the coolest ,I think Alveys were still molding the odd batch of 30A1'S in black Bakelite when I left there in 2004.theres a lot of work in that 30C1 its odd that they aren't worth more
that's no how ye make porridge!

Hi puglee,
They were worth a lot more a couple of years back but prices on all old reels have dropped substantially. Collectors having acquired enough or just not the money around anymore. Of course if they were in the box then the value would be much higher.
Having said this the rarest of reels say in the top 10 or 20 still command high values, but not what they would of a few years back.
