No serial number. These Essex period Carlson rods are very rare. 3.8 oz. 6-strip construction. Very light use or lawn cast. Some hand soiling to the grip, no ferrule wrap cracking. No wear to the inner snake guides I could see. A fast action rod. Several of the snake guide wraps have been replaced by Dana Grey but such a good job was done of it I could not point out the replaced ones unless I had known. Tan colored cane with red main wraps and black edges on all. It sports a set of red, black, red, black signature wraps as well as a second set of red, black, red, 15\" up from the butt. The stripper is a small red agate and the snake guides are bronze. The Swiss ferrule is a \"Super Z\" with the stamp on the ferrule. Excellent ferrule fits and the rod is straight. The blunt cigar grip is 6\" long and the rod has an all cork reel seat. The ring is aluminum with a handsome trimline and delicate knurling. A nickel silver pocket forms the bottom. The rod bag is colored dark blue and the aluminum tube has rubber cap for the top and bottom. A very rare one here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*** Please note that we are requesting that the buyer pay for this item via a check or bank wire - please select this option if you use our website checkout and we will follow up with the details.
