A nice FE Thomas Mahogany fly rod, 8'6", 3-piece, 2-tip, built for what feels like a #5 or possibly even a #4. 4.2 ounces. Full flexing action. Fully restored condition. Full intermediates in mahogany colored silk and the main wraps are the same. Agate stripper and period snakes. Excellent varnish. The cane is browntoned and the step ferrules are oxidized. The front cork check is also oxidized and the keeper ring is pinned on the wrap flat. Signature wraps at the cork check and windaways at the male ferrule. The grip is 6" long and a medium cigar profile tapered to the front cork check. The grip is original and has a tiny bit of erosion. The rear corck check and the cap and ring are all oxidized. The reel seat is restored mahogany. The pocket cap is stamped "FE Thomas, Special, Bangor, ME" in cartouche. #6 is stamped on the bottom of the butt cap. The ferrule fits are good and the full length rod is straight. The original green colored bag is missing the hang tag and the rod tube appears to be original.

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.

Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
