I have a logo on a rod, due for renovation next winter, which shows a man wearing 'plus four' trousers, a trilby hat, jacket, shirt and tie.
He has a small mustache. He is holding a rod where the line loops round behind his head. The name of the rod is 'Elasticane Lyca,' but no maker's name. Is this the Marco brand?
I enclose some photos but my camera is poor at close ups.
Any information welcome. Thank you in advance.

Re: Help with logo
It is a Marco or The Modern Arms Company. They were based at Bromley and they used the trade name Elasticane. Nice rods.

Yes. Marco. Looks like the “Test”

Re: Help with logo
He has mentioned Lyca. That was the name of a spinning rod they made. 7 or 8 foot I think.

Re: Help with logo
The logo is higher up on a 'Test' and the writing is wrong. It's a Lyca for certain!

Re: Help with logo
Lyca means purity apparently. A good name I think.

I must wear my glasses more often when I saw this thread I thought "who could possibly need help with Lego?"
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Re: Help with logo
Gentlemen,
Thank you for your help.
It appears I have a Modern Arms Company Elsticane Lyca seven foot two piece spinning rod, which I bought recently as part of a job lot. I shall be renovating it next autumn but as I do not do any spinning I shall be selling it. If anyone is interested please PM me.
