I agree with you - and I suppose we must all depend on the restorer to be honest. Most of them are, I think, and they go far out of their way to make sure they do a good job of keeping the rod original.

I'm going to put together an essay about Restoration Ethics. I'll post it here when it is done, and I'll hope that it will be "stickied" to stay at the top. It might answer a lot of questions that are bugging potential restorers, and perhaps... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (PaducahMichael) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/144373 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:31:47 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: HI rod decals ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/144371/t/HI-rod-decals.html#reply-144371
Since you asked, here are my thoughts on "replacement decals". When restoring a rod, I don't see a "replacement decal" being any different than replacing the original thread wraps, a badly ridged cork grip, or missing/damaged guides. I think it would be fine to offer this service to your clients. They could choose to leave a rod without a decal, keep a partial original decal, or have a replacement decal added.

It somehow just seems right, and adds to the value, again in my opinion.

I can't help but think of the buyer fifty years in the future who thinks the decal is original to the rod. I guess these things happen to old rods,
I for one just don't like to think about it!... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (bobbeegee) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/144245 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 18:35:49 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: HI rod decals ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/144241/t/HI-rod-decals.html#reply-144241 flyfishermann1955 wrote:

Although not in color, here's a starting point for your search. See Michael Sinclair's Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook. There are black and white drawings for 7 different decals on page 106 with descriptions about the colors of the decals and the years they were used on page 105.
