Richard Wheatley Salmon Fly Box - a RARE antique 9' Comes with a tan poplin

Comes with a tan poplin bag with a nice sewn-on makers label

There is a fishing set in one of the tips

A rare chance to own a wonderful pre-fire model almost exactly as it left the factory 70 years ago

with most of the black finish still on the reel

One of the first things I checked on this rod was the reel seat spacer -- made of tiger stripe maple -- whose amber color came from a heat-treating process and which marks it as one of the rods that I worked on myself at Leonard fairly early in my rodmaking career
