Orvis

Question

Orvis Impregnated 2-Pi I have a 2 piece Orvis Impregnated 99 split bamboo fly rod that I would like to get a value on.
Serial #: 32690
Length: 8' (each section is 4')
Weight: 4 1/4 oz.
Line Weight: 7

I would say the rod is in excellent condition, hopefully the picture shows it. Cloth bag and aluminum case included. I have other pictures if you need them.

Thanks in advance.

Answer
Aric,
I used the Orvis database , Orvis Bamboo Rod Production ~ 1940 to 2008: A Collector's Reference Copyright 2003-2008 James Gregory Reynolds

I looked in the database and could not find your number.

According to Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000), the 8 1/2 ft model Model "99",c.1955, (2 sections) has an extra tip valued at $110, 235 and $395 for poor, good, excellent condition respectively. You might search eBay for prices.

Good Luck
Mac
