My New Old Boo

[Benny]

Just got a package via snail mail, which turned out to be quite fast.
I was the winner of an auction on ebay, a I very Old School Split Bamboo Fly Rod. It looked good on ebay and it turned to be a great buy. I took one photo of the Rod, it's a HORROCKS-IBBOTSON. It was suppose to be a 9' rod but seems closer to 10', even though I am still very happy with my new OLD SCHOOL BOO...

Wow that looks nice my dad has the same model but in serious need of refurbishing. Yours would be nice to look at for accurate restoration of my fathers. From what I hear the Govenor is like an 8wt. Congratulations on winning the auction!

Dude, that is one sweet looker!

Is that an original decal?

I collect old toy trains and when you get a hold of something with decals that crisp and not cracked, you really got a gem!

Many big congrats on your score!

flybob, yes it's the original decal. That was one of the main things that sold me on the rod. It is completely intact and in really good condition overall. Thanks for all the comments guys
