An excellent Thomas and Thomas Hendrickson model bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. 4.6 ounces on my scale. Serial #3259. Medium fast action. Mint condition without a sign of having even been lawn cast. Varnished rod, with a perfect coat, just flawless. Light tan main wraps with darker brown edges and dark brown at the ferrules. There is an extra band of black at the keeper and ferrules. Carbide stripper and black snake guides. The cane is oven tempered to a dark wheatstraw with darker nodes. The collared swiss ferrules are oxidized. The rod sections are factory straight. The grip is 5 1/2" long and turned to a large forward weighted cigar. The cap and ring are oxidized black with "Thomas and Thomas, Makers" stamped in a cartouche on the butt cap. The seat spacer is a varnished flatted walnut. The original owner's name is inscribed on the rod shaft. The rod packs into a tan cloth bag with a stiffener and a polished aluminum tube with brass hardware.
