Just won one of those rods that you bid on and don't expect to win within budget. The seller didn't mention the length but I recognised the ferrules as being exactly like a B. James MkIV, whether it's an Avon or a Carp I can't tell but from the photos I suspect it's a Carp. As you can see it also has a clear agate tip ring and a butt ring. And judging by the seller's description I don't think they know much about cane rods.

The original label P. Weekes is still intact. This is probably the tackle shop name. Possible connection to a Stacey Weekes, tackle dealer!!? Or P. Weekes could be the maker or the chap that dressed the rod?
Anyways, until it arrives it's not exactly clear what I have bought. But it does have a long handle etc, very much like a MKIV BJames. Yet, I'm not sure that they did kit rods, so it might be a JB Walker!!?? Southwell blank
