This lot features a 9 foot three piece Jay Harvey bamboo fly rod, dating to approximately the 1930s to 1940s. The rod is constructed of split cane bamboo with red thread wraps and metal ferrules, fitted with a cork grip and an metal reel seat cap marked "Jay Harvey". The cane shows typical age toning with scattered finish wear and handling marks consistent with honest field use. Jay Harvey rods were widely marketed through hardware and sporting goods outlets, offering affordable bamboo tackle for the American angler. This example remains a classic representation of mid century production and displays well as a period fly fishing piece.
