Shakespeare Bamboo Fishing Rod Value & Identification - Expert Insights
Question
My boyfriend has a Shakespeare with the # A1362-9 on it and he was wondering its value?
if you need more info
I will try to answer it but I am unsure of most things
Answer
How do you know if it is Bamboo ? What is the shape of the rod - round - flat sides , how many sides?
Generally Shakespeare does not have big collectors value so I can say with some confidence it is not worth thousands.
The exact value depends on it's condition. I have to see rods to determine condition. Pictures give me a general idea - they can be sent to macsrods@yahoo.com. I am in Denver , you ? A restored Shakespeare is worth much more than a bamboo Shakespeare in good or less condition. Only if it is mint, excellent or new condition would I consider not restoring.
