Payne fly rod model #?

Post by reelland »

Any of you fellow reel collectors know anything about Payne fly rods. Bought one today but with wrong tube and bag I think. It is in great shape except one tip is broke, darn it. :cry: But, rod is not marked with any model number. It is marked with the plain later "Payne" stamp and "Reg. US Pat. Off." and "Sold by Von Lengrerke & Antoime, Chicago" on butt. It is a 7' 2/2 pc rod, brown wraps, gold tippet, flame tempered finish with blue/black oxidixed reel seat and ferrule hardware, walnut seat. Is this a model 98, 1950-60s era? :?: Thanks, Bill Land. :lol:

Lucky sonofagun!
I doubt that it could come from the 1950-60 era - I'm pretty sure VL&A were out of business by then. My bet would be the '30s, in which case it would almost have to be a model 98 (97s were later). Try Clark's Forum for a really solid ID. That's
