True temper rod ph. no. free#
Trouble free as possible, some items to some countries risky. Calculate for International shipping International Priority Post 2 lbs to your country. Calculate shipping and handling to U.S.A. The rod length is 58 inches and the handle is 10 inches in length. It is straight, no bends, some red paint missing on the eyes which are steel wrapped, note the out of round end plate protecting the cork handle, otherwise a very nice vintage rod that would be perfect for display. There is only one little corner of the original sticker. more in excellent condition and could be put to use as a bait casting rod it was designed for or use as a spinning casting rod. The handle has what is termed a SpeedLock, which makes adding the fishing reel a snap.VINTAGE A TRUE TEMPER PRODUCT GENEVA OHIO 8005 STEEL BAIT CASTING ROD This 1950’s round step-down steel 2-piece cork handled automatic reel release is. So with all this information, I believe this particular rod was still made somewhere between 19. This however wasn’t the case because American Fork and Hoe also used the name True Temper in advertising throughout the 1930s. The name is on the fishing rod handle, so I thought that it might have meant that the rod handle could have been made after 1949, since that is when the American Fork and Hoe name changed. One of the things that through me for a loop initially was the name True Temper. The inventor was John Kari Kinnear of Geneva, Ohio. Since American Fork and Hoe probably didn’t produce Fishing Rods during WWII, we can lower the end date to 1937 – 1942 (The year they were producing bayonets). We can safely bet that the rod was probably made somewhere between 1937 – 1949. Thee patent number was 2,102,237, which by reading turned out that the patent was issued December 14th, 1937 and since the company changed their name in 1949 to True Temper. In 1949 the American Fork and Hoe Company name was changed to True Temper. That can give you an endpoint to the age of an antique. It is also good to find out if the company still exists or not. Lucky for me many fishing rods and reels (at least the ones we purchased) had the patent numbers stamped on them. If you can find a patent number you can almost always find out what the approximate age of an item is. In writing the articles for AntiqueOutings, I have learned a thing or two about tracking down the age of items and so I really wanted to learn more about the American Fork and Hoe Company rod I purchased. When the US was thrown into World War 2, production for leisurely goods turned to war time production and I am almost certain the production of these rods and reels ceased during that time. American Fork and Hoe also produced bayonets for the army. I had to sort of laugh because I already knew this name from a previous article I had written.
True temper rod ph. no. professional#
One of the stand out rods, was a professional one produced by the American Fork and Hoe Company. Not bad for some really killer looking fishing equipment that will probably last as long as we do. Two rods really stood out, so rather than just buying one, we bought BOTH! OK I will come clean. What we were looking for were old metal rods that were in good condition and some good reels, made in the 30’s-50’s, that had a smooth action and looked totally retro. I did know we didn’t want to spend a ton of money, but of course, that doesn’t always happen when you get all excited. Now as far as antiques go, I don’t have much knowledge when it comes to buying antique fishing equipment, lures and what prices are reasonable. As luck would have it this past weekend was also Antique Weekend here in Texas, so there would be plenty of chances to find these old time favorites. This past weekend Kathleen and I decided it was time gear up to go fishing and what better way to do that than to pick up some old antique rods and reels. American Fork and Hoe as you may or may not know was one of the companies responsible for making the 1905E and M1 bayonet. Prior to WWII the A merican Fork and Hoe Company (AFH) was busy making some really great designs for fishing rod handles.
