eBay item no 251282929095. anyone down Watford way have a look at this. The rod has to be a 500 or 550 surely?

I certainly would be paying them a visit if I was in the area. Could be a real bargain to be had :Thumb:

Could be a Sealey Strike Rite; the transfers fall off if you look at them sternly.

Just got a message from the seller
No makers name on the rod and the tip ring is falling off

Still worth it as a restore job?

I took a "tyre kicker's" punt at twenty five quid as I'm in Watford. I already have 500 and 550 so I wasn't too bothered and looking at that picture I'm not so sure it's either, to be honest. A speculative lot if ever there was one and someone will either be delighted or disappointed with that one.

I asked the seller and he straight away told me it was a chapmans 500? I didn't bother bidding though.

Now I didn't want to know that.

Oh well, fortune favours the bold and good luck to the winner.
