Older Bamboo rod


Question
I have an old bamboo fly rod and am just inquiring as to possible value if any. It is a "Lucky Ace"  and the # below is A27.7351. It is a six sided rod in fair condition and is 9 ft ( 3 - 3ft sections).  Complete with a canvas carrier.  I look forward to your reply. Thanks

Answer
Don,
I am guessing your "Lucky Ace" model was made by Horrocks-Ibbotson because they had that model and made lots of bamboo fly rods, it is not very valuable. If I had pictures I could be sure, sorry, feel fee to send them [email protected] later.

H-I and Montague are looked down upon by the collecting community and often they are justified. They were mass produced , rather heavy and very slow. They are not going to resale for very much.
A small portion of these rods are decent fishing tools . It is the collector community that decides the prices , please  don抰 blame the messenger.
I find two books are available at larger libraries to get history and or value:
Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 .
Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook -Michael Sinclair
A website with Horrocks-Ibbotson  historical type information:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze2h7gi/fishnbanjossliceoflifeincyberspacecopy/id22.h...

Homel gives the 8 1/2 ft model "Lucky Ace"  value at  $15, 35 and $75 for poor, good, excellent condition respectively. The nine footer is going to sell for less.

Luck,
Mac



Please provide feedback, nominations are appreciated.


P.S.

I have been getting some comments from third parties on my position on H-I and Montague. They never quote a resource or source . Anyone who wants to add a unsubstantiated comment that the rod is worth more than $40 , please  contact me [email protected] , I can  sale you several for the price you make public.
