Thread: Wright and McGill Granger Aristocrat

    Question Wright and McGill Granger Aristocrat

    I have a Wright & McGill Granger Aristocrat 7' two piece bamboo rod with two tips. The rod looks to be in real good condition almost new condition. I dont know if it has been restored or not it has been in storage for the last 35+ years and has not been used in that time. I dont fly fish and this was given to me by my grandfather 35 years ago. I also have the cloth sleve and tube with only a small piece of the lable. I was wondering if anyone had some info about this rod, possible value and were I could try to sell this.
    Thanks for any information. Sorry the pictures are not that great.

    These folks are the experts on bamboo rods http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/ and a good place to sell if that's what you want to do.
    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    That is a very desirable bamboo rod.
    I would echo the advice of asking for an appraisal on the the classic fly rod forum.
    If it is indeed in the condition you state, it should bring circa a $1000.00.

    Be advised they will ask for pictures.
    Also follow the "before you ask for an appraisal" tutorial at the top of the appraisal board.

    Look forward to seeing it!
    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.

    Yes a highly desirable rod. I've had excellent service dealing with Jim Bresko at Coldwater collectibles www.bamboo-rods.com
