This is an Antique 58” 2-Piece Steel Casting Rod consisting of the 10” handle
section and the 48” rod section. Imprinted on the rod handle is "THE
AMERICAN FORK & HOE CO., CLEVELAND, OHIO". This company became True
Temper in 1949. The rod has a round shape
and is made of steel. It is in good
condition and I have cleaned and lubricated the ferrule for easy fit. There are 2 agate/agatine line guides and a
stainless tip-top guide. The reel connector works as intended. Included is the original
rod and handle sock which is unlabeled. The
rod is 100% original and belonged to my Dad who bought it new in Southeast Ohio in the 1940’s. Please let me know if you have any questions.
