approx production date & value

Question
HEDDON PAL #7450-5' MARK 3 ULTRA LITE - ORIGINAL.  ALL GUIDES ARE THERE, ORG. CORK BUT AGED BLACK BUTT PAD PRESENT. GOOD SHAPE.  THANKS

Answer
Hi William,

Production date would be in the 1965-1975 range.  Value estimate would be in the $30-$75 range depending on actual condition of the rod.

Leave the cork dark...it shows the patina of use and age...combination of sweat, dirt and fish slime to make it darken.

Thanks, Joe
