Wright & McGill \"Granger Victory\" vintage bamboo fly rod. 3-piece, overall length 9\'. Includes (2) tip pieces; weight of complete rod is 5.8 oz, and 1 additional tip weight is 0.6 oz. Note that the rod blank section between the male ferrule and first guide on both rod tips appears to be split; just perceptible on one (see picture), on the other becomes apparent when the rod is stressed. This would need to be restored were these to be fished with. Up-locking nickel silver reel seat, black and orange silk wraps. Very slight oxidation on a couple of the guides. Most of the wraps look very good; to my eye, only (2) wrappings show slight loosening or missing threads. Cork grip in very good condition; varnish in reasonably good condition, given original condition of the rod, but some scuffs are apparent from normal wear. Comes with what I believe to be the original beige canvas rod sleeve, and aluminum rod tube (could be original; not sure). From what I gather, date of manufacture of this rod would be approximately 1948-1952. See link below (I believe this is the same model rod, sold by Rick\'s Rods), need to add prefix for link to am parting out some old fly fishing gear of my father\'s. I will attempt to answer any questions to the best of my ability, but am in no way an authority on fly fishing collectibles! Item sold in as-is condition. I can email additional photos to interested parties if desired. Shipment: plan would be to wrap aluminum rod tube in brown shipping paper, ship via USPS Priority Mail, insured with signature confirmation. I can box item, but would incur an additional approximately $15 charge.
