charming little rod. Is that a Progress or a Trump reel?

In your estimation, what would an original complete set be worth? A friend has one with the tube, tackle box, rod, engraved "Flyweight" reel & a
box of flies. Thanks for your time.

jtb3,
Welcome to the Fiberglass Flyrodders! The little A&F setup is a collectors item. Your friends set is the original with the tube, tackle box, and Hardy reel. They go for $250-400 on eBay, depending on the condition of the equipment and the buyers involved in the bidding. Another possibility is to contact one of the vintage rod dealers listed at the top of the Collecting forum. They would be able to make a better estimate and may even have a potential buyer in mind. Good luck, Tom |

Very cool! Great photo! Good looking Brittany too. I would have loved to have seen the inside of A&F but it closed when I was 5. LOL. I understand
there was a casting pool on the roof. What a great little rod. It kind of sickens me to see everyone(I live in a college town) wearing the A&F logo these
days. I simply can't imagine being in a store where I could handle such amazing merchandise. Thanks for sharing it!
