2 bamboo fly rods need a value estimate
Question
I have 2 bamboo rods. One is an "Orvis impregnated-equinox" rod that is 7 1/2 feet in length. The rod also has what appears to be the word "Scotland" on the buttcap. The rod is in absolute perfect shape from top to bottom. The other rod is the same length and similar in appearance, however, it has absolutely no markings on it. It also has less guides then the Orvis and it comes with 2 tips. Thanks for any info you can give me. I appreciate it.
Answer
Since I was quoted on eBay without permission I have been reluctant to give price vales on rods I have not seen. I am in Denver , you ?
You can read about the history and get an idea of their value in the following books ( check the library):
Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997
Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook -Michael Sinclair ( good info on old rods , too)
Good luck
