Ex South Bend Split Bamboo Flyrod.
The decals and reel seat configuration makes it a post WWII ERA rod, according to the Restoration book by Michael Sinclair rods from this ERA were wrapped with Black Nylon Thread with no tipping.
Has the original sock but not sure if the tube is original or not. This is a beauty. Has a few small bad spots on the cork but the rod sections are all the same length and fantastic. Nice piece for any collection.
