I am thinking an Abu 6500 is worlds different than that antique! 
Pretty sweet looking collectible Christian, where did you get it? It looks to be brass? 
I don't think it is worth anything in my professional opinion  I think you should send it to me immediately for further analysis!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

If that is a Ball Handle 3 made by Thomas J Conroy (New York) it could have a value in the 3-400 range. This came out the 6th edition Old Fishing Lures and Tackle by Carl F. Luckey

Did a little more digging and found out that it was probably made in or around 1840. 160 something years old.... could be worth more than listed above
