what could this rod be ?

[Gilbert]

does anyone have a clue as to what this rod could be or possibly the maker?

The script says AGM , in a style reminiscent of Aspindale but i think the rod is quite a bit too early for that. Hollow built . whole cane split cane tip ----see what you think.

A & N ?? ..............Army & Navy ?

A few more details could help! Length - joint lengths - rings - etc.

What makes you think it predates 1946 - roughly when Aspindale started?

Hi Olly

tip and butt are white ceramic . inters are hi bells and rusty. I'm waiting for my mate - whose rod it is , to get back to me re length.

Age ? i thought it was pre war . now I'm not certain.

the script reminded me of Chas Aspindale .. now i think the rod is from Army & Navy. possibly Millwards but i don't know if they did much , if any hollow built .

Puts me in mind or a Priory of Bournemouth, they do have a very distinctive butt cap.

The Milwards Swim Master is hollow built but that's a Sixties rod 12' 3 piece float.
