VINTAGE HARDY MARVEL 7 ½' 3/2 BAMBOO FLYROD FLY ROD Bidding has ended

Up for bids is this vintage Hardy Marvel 7'1/2" 3/2 fly rod.(1965-1966) Marked on the butt "THE MARVEL PALAKONA REGD, TRADEMARK 7 1/2". The rod is in very good original condition and weighs in at 3 oz. The varnish is in excellent shape with no scratches, bag marks, or hook marks. This rod handles a 4-weight line quite nicely. As usual with Hardy rods all the sections are slightly different lengths. The rod bag is even sewn for the shorter tips. The rod shows no signs of repairs or restoration and the rod measures just over 7 ½" long when assembled. The ferrules are tight and they come with the original ferrule protectors, but one ferrule tip wrap needs rewrap as you can see in the photo. I never used this tip for avoid damages and because I don´t know how rewrap .All the hardware is in nice untouched original condition. The cork is also in nice condition with no loss or hook digs of any kind. This rod has a nice agate-stripping guide. Nice to find the bag and tube in great shape and with this rod as I'm told you had to purchase the tube separatly. Hardy tube and bag
