Vintage Belmont Remnants

[baumgrenze]

Here's one more entry from the rods my Dad left to me, just in case there might be value to someone in the parts or if these could be combined with another rod to make a whole rod. Mostly I felt compelled to post this to ask what the proper name for the stripping guide is. Here is the composite image. As you can see, what remains is a butt section with intact original cork and a tip section.




Comments?

The Belmont was a model built by Montague for and sold exclusively by Sears, Roebuck & Co., around 1930 or so.
Not particularly valuable as a collectible, but considering where it came from, I would think it's priceless to you. That is an
agateen stripping guide (red glass used to simulate agate). If you ask around you can probably find someone with some
rod parts that come close in color, so you could substitute a mid and come up with an extra tip. You'll need to measure that
butt so you'll know what the length should be for the mid and another tip. That existing tip is short, so you'll have to decide
if you want it scarfed back to full length.
