 I've been selling and collecting vintage fishing stuff for over 15 years. I've been selling on the internet for over 20 years.

I'VE SHIPPED ALL OVER THE WORLD, CHILE AND SOUTH AMERICA, CANADA, EUROPE, ETC...

 They say, there's nothing like fishing bamboo! These vintage USA & English bamboo fly rods are a living fiber. A lot of the newer fiberglass, graphite and carbon rods are to stiff and just don't have the same feel as bamboo which is a living fiber.

 I took lots of pictures of all sides, so you know what your getting.

 Before the 1930s depression days. Alot of rods made during the depression had the quality cut back like the ferrules, no agate guides, less guides on each piece, not this one. When you look for quality in vintage rod you look for more guides added on the mid section & tips. Agate guides are a plus and this rod has one. Agate a nickel silver are a plus.

 Will be shipped in plastic or cardboard shipping tube.

 Rod can't be any straighter and all pieces are same length and everything is all original to each other. Goes together and comes apart as good as it gets with that nice pop sound. Look at those pictures and it even looks better then that in person. 

 I'm a collector of vintage bamboo fly rods and have sold them and shipped them world wide. I've shipped about 30 to the country of Chile over the years and ive shipped others to Canada, Europe, Argentina a few times and all over America. ive sold 100s of bamboo fly rods over the last 7 years and i still have about 150 in my collection. Some of them are factory mint condition. I dont own any made after 1950. Most are from the 1930s some early and some later. Most ive sold on ebay and some on other places on the internet. I go the extra mile and I package them well and have never had but a few minor problems in all the years. I've had some really greatful, happy customers over the years. Just so you know ive been doing this for a while and have owned most all the early USA factory rods of many different companies and many different models of each company. I usually only buy the mid range fly rod models and up to the finest ones they make. I even have few special edition and factory custom made ones. Just so you know.
