        <![CDATA[      I recently found this bamboo rod in a antique shop. It has 4 sections I think bamboo 48 1/2&quot;, 47 3/4&quot;, 47 3/4&quot; and 45 1/4&quot; - total
15&#39;9&quot;.  The handle is 1&quot; in diameter and the steel sleeve above the reel seat is 5 1/8&quot; long. The brass tip is 1 3/8&quot; long. All the
metal except the sleeve appears to be seamless brass. There are no makers marks anywhere that I can see and under the butt cap is solid. There are 20 photos
and closeups  of some of the... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thank you for the info. I sent you and Tom some closeup photos of the tip that appears to be a pegged. I don&#39;t know where to take this from here other than
having a very old fishing pole. Any suggestions? Thanks for all your knowledge and help. - I wish I knew as much as, &quot;the less you know you know&quot;!

			<description><![CDATA[ Tom -
<br>
I agree - the Prichard guide is one of the reasons (with the tip-top) that I felt the rod had been extensively reworked.  The rosehead nail, however, is on the
&quot;winding check,&quot; which I believe is original equipment.  I just don&#39;t see anybody using a nail that would have essentially been a colonial
survival as late as 1860-70.  The rosehead is two generations of nails previous - rosehead, then cut nail, then wire nail - with, granted, considerable overlap
in styles.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think that 1840 is probably a few years too early. Those guides are basically a 2nd generation of the Pritchard guide patented in 1859.  The first
generations were hard-fastened atop the ferrules.  My guesstimate is 1860s-1870s. Whole cane rods didn&#39;t survive very long before being demoted to
&quot;fishing pole&quot; status.  However, even Farlow and others offered them for a while.  -Tom

			<description><![CDATA[ From the use of rose-head nails on this whole-cane rod&#39;s fittings, I&#39;d suggest it&#39;s very early, probably previous to 1840, when cut-nails had
almost completely replaced the old blacksmith-made rose-heads.  The rod&#39;s been pretty extensively refitted since, however.

<br>
The whole-cane nodes seem to have been planed/scraped flat.

			<description><![CDATA[ Sorry, digado, no go.
<br>
If you&#39;d like you can e-mail them to me at whfffft@comcast.net and I&#39;d be happy to post them for you.  Sounds like an interesting rod!

			<description><![CDATA[ As a previous respondent noted, we need to see the photographs. One method of posting photos that works well can be found by clicking <a title="here" target="_blank" href="http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/19438">here</a>. You can practice placing photos by posting a message to the Technical Support
section. When you know that your photos will display well, a message posted to the Appraisals and Identification section will allow Forum members to help
identify the rod.
