        <description>
        <![CDATA[ I&#39;m looking for a value on a 7&#39; #5 Thomas and Thomas Individualist.  The rod is varnished, near mint, with the original owner&#39;s name and the date
(&#39;74) on the shaft. 

Original tube - not positive about the sock, it seems too new..


I don&#39;t have it in front of me but I believe the SN is 22**, so pretty early, I think.


I&#39;d also appreciate any other info about their rods of this era.  I believe the Individualist was the top of their line but I don&#39;t know as much... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Is the grip shape on the subject rod called a &quot;Fishtail&quot;?
<br>
<br>
In Harmon Henken&#39;s <em>Fly Tackle</em>, there&#39;s a drawing of a grip just like the one on the subject rod.  It is identified as a &quot;Full
Wells.&quot;  Doesn&#39;t look like one to me.   On the opposite page of the same book, there&#39;s a drawing of what appears to me to be a  Full Wells grip,
but it is identified as a &quot;Fishtail.&quot;  Seems to me the captions are transposed.
<br>
<br>
Not a stretch... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It is an example of  both Tom&#39;s finest work of that period. The Top Hat Angler and Maxwell&#39;s straight lettering, I have always liked the honey lemon
wraps. You have a very fine little rod with the earlier step down (Leonard style) ferrules. The name on the rod is part of its origins and adds to it&#39;s
character. It looks like an impregnated rod from the pictures can you add a close up of the T &amp; T signature ?  A couple of the other guys hit most of the
rods features and value... ]]></description>

happy to help you with the rod as much as I can. I am not really looking for a 2 pc rod and I am hoping for a 4wt.  T &amp; T made a lot of 5wt rods and The

			<description><![CDATA[ These rods trade in the mid teens 1400-1600 dollars. Their value is more reflective of the fact a new one is expensive. They are not highly collectible. They
are nice rods to go fishing with but there are plenty of well know people selling new rods in this price point.

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks Paul, and Bob (I think? - I&#39;ve done some research on Defazio, and am only more confused..)
<br>
<br>
Paul, you make some valid points and I&#39;m sure you are more in touch with the value of these rod than I am.  I was; however, hoping for some input from
someone who is not in the immediate market for such a rod <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif" alt="image">.
<br>
<br>
I am just hoping for a few opinions on ballpark values for this... ]]></description>

think you are shooting a bit high of the mark. There have been a few at auction that have not sold at 2300 and they were 3 and 4 weights. They are not rare,
they are out there. They are good rods to fish and that&#39;s what they are meant to do. I have been tracking a few and I have discovered only a few models
