A few weeks ago, and older gentlement gave me a beautiful old Hardys bamboo fly rod. In fact, he set out a few rods before me, and told me to take my pick.
He'd like to sell the others, but has no idea as to their value.
One, I suspect, has little value as it has no markings and has had some "modern" repairs made.
The other, I think, will have value. It's a Heddon bamboo rod and is marked as follows:
Heddon #20 - 8 1/2' - 2F - HDH or E
The HDH or E is in script, but I think I've interpreted it correctly.
Any ideas as to its value would be appreciated. I'm tempted to but it myself, but would like to give him what its worth.
Thanks,
Andrew
