Original first edition, 1907, "Tournament Casting and the Proper Equipment", Excellent tight condition, some staining on back cover. Has some information on bait casting, but the majority deals with Tournament Fly Casting. I also have Darling's first place cup awarded to him in 1909 by the Anglers Club of New York. This 105 year old Pewter cup has a couple of dings but is in very nice condition.
Cup is engraved:
THE ANGLERS CLUB
of
NEW YORK
SPORTSMANS SHOW
1909
DISTANCE FLY UNDER BAR
won by
L.S. DARLING
These items are historically important to all who know of Lou Darling's tackle patents with the REDIFOR Rod and Reel Co. and his contributions to Fly Casting. $450 shipped for the pair, check or Postal money order, USA only. REEL IS NOT INCLUDED. Will Separate. John
