Vintage 9', 3/2, H.L. Leonard Catskill Tournament Model Bamboo Fly Rod, Original Bag and Original Brass Capped Tube. The cap and ring reel seat is stamped on the cap "The Leonard Rod, H.L. Leonard Rod Co. Makers" on one side and on the other side "Tournament". The female ferrule on the butt section is stamped Pat. Sept. 3, 1878 and Pat. Oct. 26, 75. There is an agate stripper guide and one of the tip tops is agate. I believe that the rod was restored at one time due t...o the excellent condition of the varnish, guides, and the silk guide wraps. The ferrules fit snugly and "pop" when separated. The tip with the standard tip top is 1/4" shorter than the other sections which are all full length for a 9' rod. There is slight ridging in the cork grip and a small chip in one spot (see last picture). Pictures show the condition. Any questions, please ask before bidding. Shipping within the U.S. is $20.00.
