armax bamboo fly rod

Question
just submitted question.... forgot to say the pole is stamped 1921 armax bamboo fly rod

Answer
Jamie,
Regarding -Armax #7547 bamboo fly rod   8'2" or 8'5" with tip.   Has two tips in a case also.
stamped 1921 Amax bamboo fly rod.

First  is a tip broken ? Why do you say 8'2" or 8'5"?

Book:
Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000) add about 30% for age of book

Armax rods were made by Winchester.
Homel does not list the Armax #7547.

It lists  a Winchester Model 6044 c 1932 , with an extra tip, 3 sections the  value of  $75, 200 and $385 for poor, good, excellent condition respectively.

It lists a Armax brand fly rod 9 footer at $50, 110 and $200 for poor, good, excellent condition respectively.

That tells me the value is somewhere near near those 2 figures , depending on condition.

Another thought is this rod was made, not just stamped in 1921 , under the direction of E.W. Edwards. (He quit in 1924) Winchester made 2 qualities of rods  in that era , very good and average.

Pictures to [email protected] would help . Also are the ferrules nickel-silver of chrome plated brass ? If it is an Edwards rod it is worth allot more than above. But I am never that lucky , you ?

If this rod was made after 1935 it was made by Horrocks-Ibbotson and has less value than the lowest figures above.

Luck,
Mac
