square fishing pole

Question

Answer
Hi Mike,

It is probably from the 30's or sometime before WWII.  There isn't a big collector market for them.  The rod and reel may be worth $25-$40.  Watch eBay for the best idea on what it is worth.  Its a great piece of nostalgia and a great conversation piece behind a bar or in a den.  Enjoy it.
