Helping my dad clean out some of his stuff, we ran across some old gear that was his when he was a kid, which was neat. Then as we got into it further, we dug out his father and grandfather's gear. He gave it all to me since he knows I love antiques and fishing. The real treasure of this looks to be an Abercrombie & Fitch fly rod that is made of bamboo. Looking at the construction of it, I'd say this is early 1900s, but I'm not certain. It says on the base of the handle that it's Abercrombie & Fitch NY and it's got what I assume is a model #828 on it. Does anyone know anything about antique fly rods or where I might learn about it?
Thanks!
