Good luck. They are harder to find than an A-1S, but then half the A-1S's are fakes. Nobody has faked a Parker-Hawes rod yet.

A forum member just sent me a PM who has one he'll sell. Another question. I know nothing about these rods. What type of glue was used to stick them together? Would the rod be able to be used if it's in relatively decent condition? Jerry

Well that is surprising. They are rare. I know of a few members here who own them.

They were made the same as Leonards, Paynes and other rods from that lineage. I don't know what kind of glue was used but if not separating in strips and windings, they can be used today. Mike Clark in Colorado owns one identical to mine and being a well known rodmaker, he might know more about the materials.

I'm guessing some form of a water base glue, much like or possibly hide glue. I just put a Dickerson 8015 D-10 back together for a guy that was seperated. Hide glue for sure. Jerry

If the rod was built pre-1935 it would be fish bladder based glue for most builders, post-1935 should be hide glue for the better made rods and Hawes would be in the top of makers. Another general observation would be the lack of intermediate windings which were used because fish based glues would soften around 90 F and hide glues at a much higher temperature.

Nice flyrod Bruce. Looks to be in great condition and barely used. I love those little ring keepers.

they do show up on the rare occasion on the Clarks Classic Rod board

a quality old rod in good condition and properly maintained can still be enjoyed
