The Bantam 100 EX is one of the most collectible reels out of the Shimano Bantam line. It was in the Shimano catalog from 1978 till 1981 and with the blue anodizing and the stamped gold scroll work it was a beautiful reel. I have seen them with the box in good condition and all the paper work go for 500.00 to 600.00 dollars on e-bay.
