Bob Summers Model 275 Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #4

Bob Summers Model 275 Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #4A Bob Summers model 275 bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2 piece, 2 tips, and built for a #4 line. Serial #122690. The rod weighs 3. 7 ounces on my scale. The original owner's name is inked on the rod along with Bob's name and the length and line designation. Nice medium action. Used original condition with moderate soiling to the grip and one tip has some minor scuffs to the varnish in one place with some light cosmetic wear throughout. No major issues however

Post-war reel but before they switched to the two-screw latch around 1949

It is great to see this one which is in the same pristine condition it left my shop more than two decades ago

The cap sports the later "Made For" A&F stamp

three sections and two tips
