Title: Mayflower Fishing Pole
Post by: terrapinie on August 08, 2004, 04:52:16 AM

I have a fishing pole that is a 'Mayflower'.  It's about 3' long.  There is a light etching on the reel of a sailboat with the word 'Mayflower' along the side of the boat.  There is also a fish etched on the other side.  I would like to know it's approximate value and year of production.  Not sure if any of you guys can help me with this - but I thought I'd try.  Thanks.

The reel of the fishing pole has stamped on it "Made in U.S.A".  It also has "Patent No. ####" (don't have the pole right here and don't remember the number).  So I know it is a US made fishing pole.  But thanks anyways.  If anyone has any more ideas, I'm all ears!!!!
