A friend of mine has asked me to try and value some cane rods for him. They belonged to his father in law and have been gathering dust in the attic. Details as follows:
12/13ft float (?) called an Allcocks Wizard. Sold by A Fielding, 91 Chapel St., Leigh. It is three piece but comes with a spare top section with a screw tip for swing tipping (making it 4 piece). The butt section in cylindrical with the rest of the rod hexagonal.
Dennis Pye 10ft Pike Rod made by R Chapman & co, Ware Herts. 2 piece hexagonal in section
8ft 2 piece fly rod, there is some writing on the butt but it is difficult to read.
All rods are in excellent condition, original whippings, varnished, no marks hardly, original rod bags, etc.
I had a play with them last night, they all have an excellent action, and I really fancy trying the Dennis Pye one with my Mitchell 300 for a pike or two
Thanks in advance
