![]() "Scott" wrote in message ... My Grandmother gave me a flyrod last weekend that she said belonged to my Great Grandfather. There was a note attached to it, written by my G-Grandfather that said that the rod was purchased for him by his wife as a present in 1925. She paid $55 for it. it seems to me you could by a car for about $75 in 1925 It is a 3 piece rod with a cork handle and it is in nearly perfect condition. I haven't been able to find any information on Jack Frost rods other than that there was a company in lower England that was incepted in the late 1800's that made fishing rods. I am curious to where I can find out if the pole is worth anything and what the history of the pole is. Any info. would be much appreciated! Any chance that this is a 9ft, 3 inch 9wt rod, 2 piece hex? And that your GGrandfather was a Kiwi? --riverman |
