Hopefully I won't get flamed for this post........It should be on
topic but lately even on topic post get certain people into a ****ing
contest but I have broad shoulders and can take it......A gentleman
that I do work for was cleaning out his attic and came acrost a
Monteague(sp) Bamboo rod two tips hardly used he said his uncle gave
it to him as a boy but he had forgotten about it he remembers using it
a couple time but it was his uncles before that.........The rod is
beautiful the cork has a little use stain on it has been in a rod tube
for the last 30 or so years.......... he thinks his uncle bought the
rod in the 40's any idea the worth of this rod.......All info kept
confidential and you will not be held to the price you quote


FWIW - I bought a Montague Rapidan for about $135 off Ebay. It had two
tips and was in exceptional condition. It is a 3 piece rod and I
really, really like it.
