Ok ... so Mrs. AC has taken to clutching her head in her hands and muttering "He's not a collector ... he's a very naughty boy !!!"
Thinking it might be nice to have the set ... I placed a 'best offer' on this 12 foot 'for restoration' model to go with my 10ft 6in and 14 ft versions ... and was pleasantly surprised when it was accepted.
Better pictures to follow when it arrives ...

hi ac your even further down that slope than i thought now you have the set what are you going to tell mrs ac on the next one you buy perhaps we could start a help group like split cane anonymous. as i said before just enjoy them

Gord, Sir ... I'm dreading someone with a Milward's catalogue telling me there are also 11ft and 13ft versions !!!
Nobby, Sir ... Too late, I fear !!! I'm enjoying it too much !!!

In the 1962 catalogue, Featherlites at 10'6", 12 and 13 feet, all three piecers and a super-rare two piece at 11 foot.
Senior Featherlites at 12 and 14 feet, both 3 piecers.
These last two, introduced in 1953, are now stiffened up in some un-specified way and are now faster and stiffer as well as being able to cope with "any large fish encountered"
Then there's the Floatranger, Matchmasters, Swimaster, Floatmaster, Matchflex( glass fibre), the Floatcrafts and Floatrover....
