Question
QUESTION: Hello, I have some fishing rods, was wondering if maybe a collectoer would be interested but I know nothing about them maybe you can help.
1. fenwick luncker stick 953 number on it is a n222936.
2.fenwick lunker stik 1160          l 219811
3. j.c. higgins  no. 30/60 telescoping metal pole.
4. phillipson s64.
If you can advise value, or if collector worthy I would appreciate it. thank you john.

ANSWER: John

the Fenwick Lunker sticks are good quality rods that sell on average for $40 each.

The JC Higgins will have minimal interest....$5-10 at the most.

If the Phillipson would sell in the $50-75 range.

I am assuming all of these are in excellent condition...prices drop off quickly if parts are broken or damaged.

The Phillipson is in the $50 to $75 range since its fiberglass. The rod with glass (agate) line guides is pre WWII, probably Gephart or other similar company - hard to tell if there is no markings. $5-$15.

Feel free to send photos, keep me in mind if you have any fishing lures
