C. 1950 5-1/2' Revers. Split Bamboo Bait/Fly Rod, *VF+
Bidding has ended |
Up for auction an Extremely Nice CIRCA 1950 5-1/2 FT., 3-PIECE REVERSIBLE SPLIT BAMBOO BAITCASTING/FLY ROD. This model has a ferrule built into each end of the handle, allowing the rod to be converted into a fly or bait rod simply by turning the handle around. Unmarked, it was likely made in Japan soon after the end of WWII and the U.S. Occupation. Very nice quality of bamboo. Comes with the reversible handle and two rod sections. When the shorter of the sections is attached to the handle, it creates two 33" butt and tip sections. This beautiful example is in solid Very Fine+ condition, showing only faint wear to the reel seat. Bamboo is Perfect, flawless, with no splits or cracks. Sections are straight as an arrow. Varnish looks like new. All guides, tip top, red silk wraps tipped in black, flip-ring hookkeeper and ferrules are Excellent. Screw-locking reel seat works perfectly, showing a very tiny area of brassing opposite the seat. Solid cork grip looks as though it's never been handled. A very choice little vintage bamboo combo rod. To be sold with a very modest starting bid and NO RESERVE. Buyer to pay $11.00 for bullet-proof, professional shipping via U.S. Priority Mail. Insurance is optional. Payment must be received within 10 days of auction closure. I accept PayPal, Money Orders and Cashier's Checks.
