Yes these are Sweden made.
Not much buddy, zebco is kinda entry level cheap gear.. How many bearings in it? The more bearings the nicer(more expensive) the reel.
No disrespect but the original zebco from Sweden is far from entry level.

Those would make for excellent fishing gear.

I've been meaning to take a half-day off and cast a line on a cool summer morning. I don't fish, but I can learn. The new precinct is on a river. You may recall, it's the same place I got started. Just the other day I saw a bicycle bum dig worms at the break area, red wigglers. He tells me there are giant cat fish there; Most never eat the reapings - the water is polluted with modern industrial contaminants. For now I'll breathe the metallic ions along the falls, try not to step on a hook, I've had them nibble my shoes, and see what else I notice.
