Hi guys.I need a bit of help identifying these 2 rods.They are 10 ft and 12ft and I think they are made of greenheart.You can see they have snake eye rod rings and the but end and reel seats are brass.
I was thinking that they were made by Farlows and that the decals were missing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Dave

Re: Rod identification
Hello Dave.
I have a similar rod to the 3-piece greenheart, made I would think in the mid to late 19th century, inscribed Makers P. D. Mallock of Perth. On a smaller version trout rod also of greenheart in my rod rack, reading: (label) G.W.S. (crossed rods, above a fish, under a crown). Then, "Registered Trade Mark", then below. "Geo. Wilkins & Son Ltd. Redditch". I think these kind of greenhearts had many makers and sadly not always marked who made them.

The good angler is not the one with expensive equipment. Common sense, observation and trying to realize
what is happening above and below water will catch fish no matter what price equipment you fish with.
