This could be a tough question to answer. A rod could be valuable for many reasons. It might be an average rod that was owned by a famous flyfisherman,
politician, or celebrity. It could also be a rod that is valuable on its own merits. It could be a rare mint condition example from a top maker from the
past, or it could be a special commemorative rod from a current builder.
I think that the highest auction price every paid for a bamboo rod was for a Gilliam, but that was quite a few years ago and I don't think that those numbers have been seen since then. Something tells me it sold for about $14k, but I am sure others can provide more details about that rod. |

Several come to mind, however, scarcity, condition, prior owner provenance and other factors come into play when trying to pin down an answer to a question as
this, you must also consider the ethics of the current owner keeping their identity, and that of what they own. private as well.

I'm with Marty on this one. Tough to put a price on a Phillippe since none have been put up for public sale in modern times, but rather than multiples of
thousands or ten thousands, I think it would bring multiples of twenty-five thousand. $100,000 would not be out of the question for the right buyer for that
Phillippe in Pennsylvania. It's the combination of first US split bamboo maker , plus the exceptional scarcity that give it the perceived value.

Ken's on it, that is, if it existed. :-)
Of course I'd expect Sotherby's to furnish "prior owner provenance" without exception. I'd also be pleased if Dame Juliana had signed the rod. In liquid gold. With quill pen. Under the varnish, of course. |

Hmmm. there's a nice short story lurking somewhere in this discussion. A reference buried in the pages of a book, a map, a quest, a theft...

Richard; Now wondering if I can tie this rod into my proposed movie script of the saga of GoFish, Bob and the Spotted Dace. The rod might make the film more believable. Ken A Curmudgeon is just an Old Fart with outlet malfunction. You'd be grumpy, too. |
