I mentioned in May that I had found this rod. I've only got around to taking some photos today as I was photographing the two Hardy reels earlier. These rods are hard to come by and when they do become available, they command the highest prices. This one was bought for just over £200.
2-piece 8 foot C.C. de France rod. (244cm), Serial Number: 51548 E, made in 1939.
"Palakona Regd. Tade Mark"
"The C.C. de France Rod"
The rod is in reasonable condition for it's age. It needs a good restoration to get it back to top shape and to back to the water. Some detail photos under natural light.
