The last of Classic trivia. Who are these two gentlemen?

I think the photograph was taken shortly after 1900 and further think they were sitting on the bank of the Delaware River. ...

trivia - with an international touch

feeds@yuku.com (cwfly) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:35:31 GMT

Name the individual in New York City, English by birth and an importer of some fishing tackle, who married a daughter of a gentleman, also English by birth, who founded a very large retail merchandise store in New York (and now elsewhere). This store, at least in name, still exists.

For the few (less than a handful) who might enjoy these small challenges, and in spite of others now off at Boxborough looking through boxes and on tables for that item that whispers, "take me home," I'll offer up another. Lots of clues in this one.

I had read in a book casting a spell-George Black that Bill sold his equipment to Ray Gambordella in1956 and he sold it to Sam Carlson later that year. I own a quad marked "Edwards quadrate original owners name and 1957".

Thanks for the replies in advance. Tod

Heddon tip forms?

feeds@yuku.com (nwdlj) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:33:17 GMT

is anyone familiar with Heddon not using a tube and instead using just a wooden tip form and bag? I have an all original Classic Era 9' 2 1/2F 3/2 Model 14, uplocking cedar spacer and pyralin threads, that has a wooden tip form and bag with no bag tag. The bag is sized for the tip form, i.e. not in a 3/2 but in a kind of 3 section design with the mid section part of the bag sized properly and the tip side being sized bigger for the form. Also, the rod specifics are on a printed paper form...

South Bend ?

feeds@yuku.com (tobewan77) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:51:05 GMT

Does anyone have a simple breakdown on the South Bend numbering system? Seems a lot of different model numbers in the same length. Was quality defined by the numbers at all? Or was it simply a sequential thing? Thanks for your thoughts.
