Maxwell Leonard 39-5 Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5

Maxwell Leonard 39-5 Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5Leonard 39 5 Hunt model ser# 80116 2pc, 2t. Mint + condition. The slim cigar grip is clean and unsoiled. No brassing to the inside of the guides on one tip. The second tip has just the beginnings of some brassing. I would suggest this rod had one tip lawn cast only. The pewter oxidation at the ferrules has no sign of any wear. Excellent varnish, no flaws. Agate stripper. Marked 39 5 on the wrap flat. Wrapped in the plum colored silks which turn to

̢Winsted Conn" a tackle retail shop for which Sam produced rods

Mintish rod with no soiling to the grip and microscopic brassing inside the guides is consistent with having been lawn casted only
