Rare Orvis Impregnated Bamboo "Battenkill" Fly Rod, circa 1959. This is an 8' 6" two piece with two tips. Included is an authentication letter from Orvis. The rod was made by Orvis in 1959 by Calvin Skinner and George Reid. Included is the original aluminum rod tube and a rod sock (not sure if the sock is original). The rod is in outstanding condition for its age, and all sections are straight. The cork grip is solid but a little wavy as is common in these old rods.
