EF Payne Model 110 Bamboo Fly Rod 9' 2/2 #8/9

EF Payne Model 110 Bamboo Fly Rod 9' 2/2 #8/9A superb EF Payne Model 110 bamboo fly rod, 9', 2 piece, 2 tip, that's built for what feels to me like an #8 or #9 line. The rod weighs 5. 9 ounces. Excellent original condition, late 1950's vintage, with some modest cosmetic ferrule wrap cracks and minor guide wear. The ferrule are tight and the rod is straight. The cane is flamed with the typical node spacing. The original varnish is superb as you would expect from Payne. Perfection stripper and
