由 Will Hovarter It sounds like you’re describing a vintage fly fishing setup featuring Mini-Ferrules Wright & McGill rods paired with reels and cases. Here’s a breakdown of what you might have:
1. Wright & McGill Vintage Fly Rods
– Mini-Ferrules: These are small, often delicate ferrules (joint connectors) used in vintage fly rods, typically seen on mid-range or higher-quality rods from the mid-20th century.
– Wright & McGill: A well-known fishing tackle manufacturer, famous for their Eagle Claw brand. They produced quality bamboo, fiberglass, and early graphite rods.
– Era: Likely 1950s–1970s, depending on materials (bamboo, fiberglass, or early graphite).
– Condition: If the ferrules are intact and the rods are straight, they could be valuable to collectors.
2. Reels & Cases
– Reels: If original, they might be Pflueger, Hardy, Orvis, or Wright & McGill models.
– Cases: Original rod tubes or reel pouches add value, especially if in good condition.
Potential Value
– Single Rod: $50–$300+ (depending on model, condition, and rarity).
– Matched Pair: More desirable, possibly $200–$600+ if in excellent shape.
– Reels & Cases: Add $50–$200+ each, depending on brand.
Where to Sell/Appraise
– eBay (check sold listings for Wright & McGill rods).
– Classic Fly Fisherman Forum (specialist collectors).
– Local vintage tackle shops.
