Rod #13
G.H. Howells
7.5' * 3 5/8 oz * 2/2 * 5/6w
Original Ex++ Condition

Here we have a 7.5' - 5/6w in very lightly fished condition
with the fairly early serial number of #3911, build for
Anglers All here in Denver.  The tube label is marked as
a 6/7w and it dose cast a 7w but is overloaded, a sweet
5/6w med/fast Action in my opinion. Great for larger fish
on smaller waters and nymphing. Every Thing is Right & Tight
and sure to please. Gary's rods are becoming harder
 to find as they find there ways into collections and
are removed from the market...

Rod #15
Divine / Standard Trout
9.5' - 3/2 - 5w
Original Ex. Condition

Here we have a rarely seen Fred Divine Standard
Trout Rod in original untouched condition from my
private collection. I showed this rod to Michael Sinclair
who wrote the book on Divine and is now producing
the New Divine Rod and he said it is one of the finest
condition original Divine rods he has ever seen. I left
the rod in as found condition and is for collecting,
displaying and not fishing. The Nickel Silver and guides
show oxidized and has not been put together for many,
many years...
