Scharffenberg
Question
My husband's mother found a fly fishing pole (2 pc) with Scharffenberg on it. Is there any info you can tell us about it? Thank you.
Answer
Hi Cheryl,
Not much. I don't find any listings in any of my books with this name.
I assume this is a fiberglass rod and was originally made with only two pieces.
I did find, via an internet search, a reference to a family named Scharfenberg who owned a hardware store in Richfield. It is common for independent hardware stores to have rods made with their name on them to sell as a "private label" rod series. This could be a possibility.
It is also possible the rod has the name of the original owner on it instead of the manufacturer.
Sorry, but I can't be much more help than that on this one.
Thanks, Joe
