Yes on both counts. Neither is worth a great deal, at least not on any sort of collector market.

By old Fenwick how old and what style? Was it made in Kent WA. by Green. I believe Green sold the company in the late 70's or early 80's. Mr. Green was the original owner of Sage Fly rods. Most early glass rods are worth for what you can get out of them. If they are in meant condition condition maybe what they originally sold for,thy were a mass marked produced rod at that time Here in WA they were a vary popular rod for guys just getting in to fishing.

Good Wraps Bob

Tom,
Thanks I really am looking at a fair price to offer for them and as long as the are straight are they OK? As fare as age goes they seem to be very strong still?

Check the finish for blemishes and then the blanks for overall straightness. If all looks well you can assume they haven't been stored in such a manner that would have done any harm to them.

That really depends on how bad you want them. I can't imagine paying more than $25 for any of them.

Also, keep in mind that if those are first quality Fenwicks, they'll have the Fenwick foil sticker on them.

Or the printed eagle logo.
