Hi everyone, while searching and studying about all this, I happened across this auction and won it. (ok, took more e-candy from e-babies [:p] )
May not be exactly what I will end up with but in the interest of starting somewhere and researching closed listings and Silaflex, Ted Williams etc. know I stole it lol for $33.03 + $10.00 Ship. Will be way cool just hanging on my wall, I love old stuff !! may turn out to be who knows ?? extra rod for a buddy ?? don't care, it's in the mail.
Only details in his post were 8'8" , Silaflex, and what can be gathered from pics. and he uses word "Vintage" his feedback is 100% /125 or so count pos feedback with comments on excellent descriptions etc. describes this one as excellent condition. That white lining sure looks unmolested.
From what I am reading, rod may likely be a Browning, who bought the Silaflex patent in the 60's for making rods and bows. User reviews are 100% thumbs up for Silaflex fly rods too. even see brand new retro ones, and not at all cheap either, for sale.
