Spectacular 1960 SHAKESPEARE #1465 "Wonderod" 6-1/2' Bidding has ended

It's my pleasure to offer at auction an absolutely Spectacular 1960 SHAKESPEARE NO.1465 "WONDEROD" 6-1/2 FT., 2-PIECE FIBERGLASS SPINNING ROD WITH THE SCARCE "GREEN" BLANK & ORIGINAL BAG AND MARKED TUBE. This comes from a group of Wonderods I'll be selling that are, without question, among the finest I've ever seen. The No.1465 was first offered by the Shakespeare Co. in early 1958. This example carries the date code EAL, which indicates it was built in November of 1960. Rodshaft is marked "No.1465 - 6' 6" - EAL", along with a perfect Shakespeare Wonderod oval/ribbon decal. One of the sliding rings on the handle is stamped "Shakespeare" in script. Rod comes equipped with the Scarcer green colored rod blanks, solid cork grip w/sliding bands, plastic winding check & buttcap and beautiful windings of forest green. Because the terms "Mint" and "Near Mint" are so carelessly used on eBay, I tend not to use them, even if it might apply to an item I'm selling. However, in this case I have no choice, as this example is nothing less than solid Near Mint. This rod has never been used and has barely been handled. Other than some insignificant yellowing to the thread preserver, it's as pristine as the day it was made. Green "spiral" rod blanks appear untouched. All guides, tip top, ferrules, winding check and buttcap are perfect. Guide, ferrule and signature wraps are like new. The solid "suberet" cork grip/reel seat has never had a reel mounted on it. Put up in the original blue bag and plastic tube, both of which are extremely nice. The red end caps for the tube are both embossed with "WONDEROD Patented, SHAKESPEARE CO. - U.S.A.". A Spectacular 48 year-old package from Shakespeare, original & complete, and one that would be virtually impossible to upgrade. To be sold in true auction format, 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. Thanks for your time and good luck.

You are bidding on two jim pfeffer lures, one belongs in the box. the box top has some age. On the front top right hand corner there is a catalog number, that might read 711, but is difficult to tell. It is probably for the floating lure which is the green back, yellow belly, silver head. It weighs 1/2 oz. The other lure is black body, silver scale, silver head, and has a belly weight, and has a total weight of 3/4 oz. Both lures measure 4 inches in length. Both are in mint condition.
