This lot consists of two vintage steel fishing rods with black enameled finishes, nickel silver fittings, and cork grips. The first rod is a Winchester No. 5480 four piece steel rod measuring approximately 4 feet in length and weighing about 7 ounces. The second rod is an Armax No. 7212 three piece steel rod measuring approximately 4 feet in length and weighing about 6.3 ounces. Armax was a trade name used by Winchester for sporting goods and fishing tackle. Both rods feature crystal-style guide rings and compact telescoping construction typical of early to mid-20th century travel and pack rods.
Both rods remain in Good to Very Good condition with scattered age and handling wear throughout. The black enamel finishes show scattered scratches, thinning, and finish wear from use and storage. The cork grips show light to moderate handling wear and discoloration. The fittings remain generally well preserved, though there is light oxidation and age toning visible on some metal surfaces. Overall, this is an attractive and interesting lot of compact vintage steel fishing rods tied to Winchester sporting goods history.
