Valuing Vintage Ambercrombie & Fitch Passport Fishing Rods
Question
Do you know anything about an Ambercrombie and Fitch fishing rod? Fiberglass, 10 piece in a 6"x4" case.Approx.53" long.Called a Passport rod.Excellent condition and the rod has great flex. Its from family and probably from the early 60's. Any approx. value?(or site to research it?) Thank you...Tim
Answer
Tim,
Your date sounds about right, it was a travel rod (thus broke down into 10 pieces). I would estimate it in the $150 range. You can also inquire here - they specialize in bamboo, but should still get an answer since they are rod focused.
