ORVIS IMPREGNATED BAMBOO MADISON MIDGE ROD 3-18-1970 Bidding has ended

ONE (1) ORVIS "MIDGE" FLY ROD - 7 1/2' 2 PIECE WITH EXTRA TIP SECTION, 3 5/8 OZ., HEG. 5 WT.,CLOTH SACK, ALUMINUM TUBE WITH SCREW CAP, SILVER/GOLD/BLUE LABEL.

SERIAL NUMBER ON ALL THREE SECTIONS IS 58531.

RESEARCH WITH ORVIS SHOWS THAT THE "BIRTH DATE" IS MARCH 18, 1970 AND THE MAKER IS RON WHITE.

I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN OR MODIFY ANY PART/PIECE THAT IS LISTED HERE. THE PICTURES WILL SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, AS I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CAPTURE ALL ASPECTS OF THIS ITEM FOR YOUR INFORMATION.

ROD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! THE REEL SEAT & WOOD IS CLOSE TO MINT, CORK SHOWS USE AND PROBABLY WOULD CLEAN EASILY. THE ROD SECTIONS ARE STRAIGHT, THE FINISH IS SUPERB WITH SOME PERPENDICULAR VARNISH SCRATCHES ABOUT 4" BELOW THE STRIPPING GUIDE. THE WRAPS ARE PERFECT, AS ARE THE GUIDES. THE FERRULES HAVE ALL OF THEIR BLUEING AND THERE IS A SMALL "SPOT" ON ONE OF THE MALE FERRULES THAT IS VERY SUPERFICIAL - RUNNING MY FINGERNAIL BACK & FORTH OVER IT, I DID NOT FIND THAT IT WAS PITTED. I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO BUFF IT OUT, WHICH I AM SURE IS ALL THAT IT WOULD TAKE TO REMOVE IT. THE DETAILED PICTURE MAKES IT LOOK LARGER THAN IT REALLY IS.

THE ALUMINUM TUBE HAS SCUFFS HERE & THERE FROM BOTTOM TO TOP AND WEAR TO THE LABEL, BUT IT IS READABLE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO'S. THE CLOTH SACK IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION - NO TEARS/STAINS.

THIS ITEM WILL BE SECURELY PROTECTED AS ALL ITEMS THAT I SELL. THE ROD SECTIONS/SACK WILL BE PROTECTED INSIDE OF THE ALUMINUM TUBE TO PREVENT INTERNAL SLIDING DAMAGE. THE TUBE WILL BE OVERPACKED WITH A PVC TUBE AND THIS WILL BE OVERPACKED WITH A CARDBOARD SHIPPING BOX.
