jok 3,035 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Split cane rod. Chucked mine about 1965. Was a Hardy's. From Alnick in Northumberland. Should have a badge near the front of the cork if same. Reel just a centre spool, nowt special but should polish up nice. Not a bad find really but not collect able and not of any value, in my opinion. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pengelli 365 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Joke right split cane could be Hardys or a lot of people used to get them custom made back in the day regarding the reel I wouldn't polish it as if you are going to sell it think the buyers and collectors like the aged look Petina I think they call it if you are gonna sell it put in on e bay and see how it goes I got £50 for one last year without a reel lot of places buy them for displaying on walls country pubs ect hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,032 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Unless I'm mistaken that looks like the Grimshaw easispool reel of which only five were made in 1927. The last one to come up for sale sold at Sotheby's for £127,000 but to be honest it wasn't a patch on yours. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking about it didn't one of Phil's get stolen and as it was a gift from Liz he was offering a £300,000 reward? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,035 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Oh dear. Now you've got the boys hopes up. Naughty naughty. I'm willing to bet that if he checked in the same skip he'd have found a dinosaur skeleton or something of real value. LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
