The other day I was looking for a guide in one of my many
boxes and ran across a spool of old multi colored thread ,
an old rod winder both from Herter’s. So just wondering if there
is a rod building museum so one can donate to,
if not maybe TOM should start one???

Just thinking, Stan Yerger

I wish there was. I have a great deal of old stuff, but hardly enough to draw anyone from any distance to see.

Interesting idea though - I may pitch it to the IGFA since they have a brick and mortar facility. They have other artifacts there in a museum type setting. Rod building may be off their radar, then again it never hurts to suggest it.
