THIS SPRING LOADED DEVICE IS 3 1/8TH INCH IN LENGTH. THE MAIN BOY IS MADE OF BRASS, WITH THE 2 JAWS, CENTRAL HOOK, AND PLUNGER MADE OF STEEL OR MAYBE NICKEL? THE FLAT END OF THE PLUNGER INSIDE OF THE JAWS IS SPAMPED "PATS. PEND. MADE U.S.A." THIS "FISH TRAP?" SETS READILY BUT HAS A HAIR TRIGGER AND GOES OFF EASILY. IT LOOKS TO BE COMPLETE AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT APPEARS TO BE FOR A SMALL ANIMAL OR FISH, BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY INFO IN ANY BOOKS OR ONLINE. YOU WILL HAVE TO BE THE JUDGE OR HOPELFULLY SOMEONE WHO SEES IT KNOWS SOMETHING (PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE-EVEN AFTER AUCTION ENDS) IN MY OPINION, THIS IS OLD AND CERTAINLY FACTORY MADE.

IT HAS A SPRING IN THE TUBE AND THE LITTLE "L" SHAPED PIECE HOLDS THE SPRING DOWN AND THE HOOKS SPREAD. WHEN THE "ANIMAL" PULLS ON THE BAIT, IT PULLS THE "L" SHAPED PIECE FROM HOLDING THE SPRING IN.

This auction is for a very RARE and Vintage Garcia Mitchell 300DL Custom Spinning Reel. This Reel was made about 1962. It comes With the orginal cardboard box and the Oak display case. It also has both line spools. The Gold accents are in great condition with only a little wear on one line spool. The Cardboard box is worn and the lid has worked it way off. The oak display box is in excellent condition except there was a label or tag on the top which is missing. ( I think that it was a name tag.) The reel is in excellent condition it does have the previous owners name on on the gold tag and engraved on the bottom of the T attachment. I checked with the international collector assoc. through google and found that there were only about 4000 of these made between 1961 and 1975. This is one of the earlier ones. It also stated that most collectors are lucky to see one of these reels live let alone be able to have a chance to purchase one. I normally only sell to the USA market but have decided to open this auction up to world wide. You must have PayPal to Bid. This is for your protection as well as mine. Thanks for looking.

Good luck bidding, I reserve the right to end the auction earlier.

*SCARCE* 1916 HEDDON #4 5-1/2′, 2/2 Split Bamboo Bait

or20080822b.jpg *SCARCE* 1916 HEDDON #4 5-1/2', 2/2 Split Bamboo Bait

Bidding has ended

It's my pleasure to offer at auction an Extremely Nice and Very Scarce 1916 HEDDON NO.4 5-1/2 FT., 2/2 SPLIT BAMBOO BAIT CASTING ROD WITH CLOTH BAG. First offered by Heddon in 1910, the No.4 was completely redesigned in 1916 to include a cork foregrip with the straight handle, a design that would last until 1929. It would go on to sell, by then known as the "Chieftan", through 1952, an incredible 42-year run. Because this example is equipped with first agate guides, agate tip tops and all-metal second guides, we know it could only have been built in 1916. That was the only year the No.4, with the extra tip section, had that particular guide configeration. I've included a photo of the original listing from page 9 of Heddon's 1916 catalog. This model comes equipped with extra tip section, genuine agate guides & tip tops, silk windings, knurled hardware throughout, solid cork grip & foregrip made of delicate 1/16" cork rings, reel seat with Heddon locking band and attatched trigger and "Dowagiac" Bass rodshaft decal. Reel seat carries the early stamped "HEDDON'S DOWAGIAC - Pat. Dec 1, '08" rod & reel logo. Rod is in Very Fine++ condition, showing only light wear for this early model. Certainly one of the nicer No.4 models from this early period that I've handled. Bamboo is Perfect, with no splits, cracks or delamination whatsoever. All sections are the correct length, with one tip section having only a very faint set. Varnish is just starting to show some crazing, but remains very nice. All silk wraps are solid & complete and rod has no doubt been at least partially rewrapped at some point, though done to original wrap specs. The Bass decal is over 95% complete, with colors still fresh and bright. All guides, tip tops, ferrules, winding check and buttcap are excellent. Reel seat works perfectly, showing little wear for these. Solid cork grip and foregrip are in pristine condition. Put up in 3-sectioned cloth bag, which is also in Very Fine+ condition, with no holes or tears whatsoever. The No.4 was never offered with a tube. A very lovely and scarce, one-year model from James Heddon's Sons. These WWI-era rods from Heddon are showing up less and less frequently, especially in this nice of condition. To be sold in true auction format, with a very modest starting bid and NO RESERVE. Buyer to pay $12.00 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. (more...)

This item is a vintage Garcia Ambassadeur 5000 baitcasting reel by ABU Sweden. I don't know how old it is, but it was on sale at the time for $24.99 according to the price tag, so it has been around for a number of years. It is new and comes in a box that doubles as a retail display advertising it's features. Included with the reel is a leather carrying case, a container of more than a dozen small repair parts, and a small plastic bag containing a bottle of oil and a disassembly tool. The corners of the box top show a bit of wear from storage, but is not torn or marked on. There is a letter "A" written in ink near the corner of the inside box near the reel crank handle. It may show in the photo. If you are a collector of Ambassadeur reels, this is one you don't want to miss. This is one of my personal 'treasures' that I just could not bring myself to actually use. Because I am downsizing, this is sold "AS IS" with no return option. The reserve is modest compared to it's value. I hope you will take a look at my other items. U.S.A. sales. PayPal only please.

This item came directly from Zane Grey's home in Altadena, California, and was part of his personal fishing tackle.

The item was purchased from the Lang's sale in November of 2007 as part of the Brock-Tinglum collection of Zane Grey fishing items.

"For years it had been rumored the 1967 fire had engulfed many of these important articles, which can now be proven false by the presence of this collection. The wish of Brock and Tinglum, who have preserved these important items with care for many years, is to pass each rare object to others who share their enthusiasm for the man that so many, 68 years after his death, are still infatuated with" ~ Lang's, November 2007

Bidding has ended

Up for auction an Extremely Nice 1946-1950 SOUTH BEND NO.47 9 FT., 3/2 SPLIT BAMBOO FLY ROD WITH THE ORIGINAL LABELED BAG & TUBE. The No.47, first offered in the 1930's, was one of South Bend's highest-grade Single Built fly rod models and was rated for Bass & Steelhead. Because this example carries the rectangular "South Bend - Famous For Fishing" rodshaft decal, we know it was built right after WWII until about 1950. Rodshaft is stamped "47 - 9'" on one flat and "HCH or C" on another. The latter is the old line weight designation, equivalent to today's modern 6 or 7 wt. lines. Comes equipped with adjustable screw-locking reel seat, red & black jasper silk windings, solid cork "Comficient" grip and extra tip section. I've included a photo of an earlier, original listing for the No.47 from South Bends's 1941 catalog. Rod is in solid Very Fine condition, showing only moderate wear and is one of the nicest of these models I've handled. Bamboo is perfect, with no splits, cracks or delamination whatsoever. All four sections are the correct equal length and are virtually straight. Appears to have an overcoat of varnish, which remains extremely nice. Rodshaft markings and decal are pristine. All guides, tip tops, winding check, hookkeeper and ferrules are excellent. Ferrules fit tightly, separating with a nice "pop". Wraps remain solid and complete. Reel seat adjusts perfectly, showing only minimal wear. The solid cork "Comficient" grip looks and feels barely used. Put up in the original, correctly marked South Bend bag, which is in Extra Fine condition. Label is fresh and bright, the bag without any holes or tears whatsoever. All this comes in the original fiber tube, which is in Fine to Very Fine condition. Shows numerous rubs, scratches and some fading, but is solid and complete, with absolutely no dents. Cap screws on tightly and securely. Still carries a virtually complete "Fish And Feel Fit" South Bend paper label, which is also correctly marked for the rod. A very Choice post-war package from the South Bend Bait Co., all original and complete. To be sold with a very modest starting bid and NO RESERVE. Buyer to pay $13.00 for bullet-proof, professional shipping via U.S. Priority Mail. Insurance is optional. Payment must be received within 10 days of auction closure.
