Orvis Manchester Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #6
$ 850
1127
An early Orvis Manchester bamboo fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, built for a #6 line (HDH). Serial #15028, indicating a 1953 manufacture date. "Orvis Impregnated" and "Manchester" inked on the butt. Medium action. Impregnated cane done in a three up node pattern. The cane is in good shape though there are a fair number of glue lines and some cosmetic discoloration in a few areas. Good used condition overall. The grip has had some hand soiling, the keeper has busted off (the keeper feet are still tightly wrapped down however), and there is some mild oxidation loss to the butt female ferrule and one tip top. One tip has a righthanded set. Otherwise it's pretty good and eminently fishable. Wrapped in red throughout. 6" cork grip in a medium cigar profile. Aluminum downlocking screwlock over a wood spacer. Comes packed in a green poplin bag and the original aluminum tube with the Orvis data sticker affixed to it.

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
