An unfished Parker-Hawes 6/7 wt rod from 1936. One of a total production of 330.

We were next to the L C Smith fellows.

We sold many raffle guns tickets, the last few winners have been on tickets bought at this event.

Many thanks to the fellows and gals who worked the booth and helped create interest in Parkers. Some came from the West Coast to Des Moines to help.
