My latest restoration is this 12ft Sprite, in need of a re-whip and varnish and the ferrules re-glued but the cane was in very good condition as was the handle and all the fittings.
The Maker,s transfer,s are complete with no damage.

Came complete with ferrule stopper,s and it,s original maker,s bag.

84 Inters in total.
Finished and ready to fish.
