[LuckyLuca]

Anyone like to hazard a guess at the age of this?

And before the wise cracks start no i don't mean the carpet :hahaha:

A couple of those sold for quite big money on eBay last week. Indeed even the rubber head will fetch 6 or 7 quid of late!

I presume from the picture that's its the aluminium version and plastic collar, so it'll be the later version. If you can get the earlier brown version with brass fittings, they tend to go for more than one would expect.

Was thinking the same thing. I can recall these silver ones still being sold in tackle shops in the late 1980s. I have just one remaining brown-painted early version with the brass locking nut; somehow all my others (I had a few at one time) have disappeared.

I'm in agreement with GOS. One will also find, that some of the large/longer older brown versions appearing on fleabay (and reaching silly prices), are cannibalised from the Efgeeco tripod. You can tell this, by removing the rubber head and you'll find the top of the alloy rod recessed on either side,(to fit in the bracket), with a whole running through, where they have removed the joining/securing rivet.

Merlot, I believe you've recently aquired one of the 'mickey mouse' look-alike Efgeeco rod rests?



My spies are everywhere!

Mickey mouse Efgeeco I'm not sure, I`ve a few cane tri-pods, I bought years ago, but all my Efgeeco tri-pods/banks sticks are genuine, pray expand young Nobby?
