| VALUE OF ANTIQUE ORVIS FISHING ROD?? |
Question:
I have the opportunity to buy an antique Orvis fishing rod and reel at a local fly-fishing shop and was wondering if the asking price is approximate to its true value. The rod is an ORVIS IMPREGNATED BAMBOO
ROD- SUPERLIGHT SPIN. The serial # is 65072, length is 6'0", and it's two-piece design. It is in mint condition and comes with the original container. The reel is an ORVIS 50A SPINNING REEL. The owner wants $250 for it. Is this fair? Your comments will be much appreciated.
Answer:
I'd go looking for a catalog from a man called Lew Codella...I think it's in Boston, MA? A friend of mine swears by him. Try looking in a back of a magazine for the address. Also there's a zillion bamboo guys with web sites try doing a little web surfing and maybe you'll find a few phone numbers or e-mail addresses.
