Please view photos as we will be selling this vintage Granger fly rod as is. One image shows a hairline crack in one of the metal... ends. The cork handle is slightly darkened due to use many decades ago. Rod comes with original tube and sock.Please e-mail with any questions. Hopefully we can answer. I do not know the exact age of the fly rod. It was my fathers (who would have been 91 this year), but since my Dad was not a fly fisherman, I’m thinking it was his father’s rod. His father died when he was young, so it makes sense why he cherished this rod so much. He was very proud of it and took excellent care of it. I’m hoping the fly rod finds a new home with someone that will love it as he did.Pay Pal is preferred payment method.Thanks for looking ~ Happy Bidding !!On Nov-16-19 at 16:06:29 PST, seller added the following information:Additional Note:An Ebay viewer sent me a message regarding the age of the rod. "Just an fyi, this rod was made between 1936 and 1942, until all production halted due to WWII."This time frame falls precisely into my grandfather's lifespan. (1897-1948)
