Hi everyone,
Some years ago I inherited a few cane rods from my uncle when he sadly passed away. Not knowing anything about older fishing tackle I am hoping that someone will be able to help me out.
I have no interest in selling these items as they mean too much to me, I just would love to know what I have. I am curious to know if they are rare and collectable with any value or simply mass produced items of no interest to anyone.
To start with the rods are:
1. A hexagonal 3 piece cane rod with the wording 'Made By Sealey England' 'Rover' and a picture of an octopus with the wording 'Octopus ESS' near the handle.
2. Another hexagonal 3 piece cane rod with the wording 'Dalesman' 'The Severndale'(this i'm not 100% sure on as it's hard to read due to the writing style).
3. A 2 piece cane fly style rod with a sticker near the handle that reads 'Reg Ironmonger Angling Specialist Birmingham'
4. A 2 piece cane fly style rod with no identifying marks on it.
I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to make much of an assesment from these decriptions, especially on 3 & 4; but if anyone thinks that they may be able to help me out I can e-mail over any photos that may be of assistance.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
