Wow! You have provided a tonne of information no other Dickerson collector or restorer I know could mention with certainty. Many thanks for the great ‘Appendix to The Man & His Rods’ that I will copy with your permission and keep beside my records for further reference;-). Wonderful stuff Marc.

With appreciation

Marc, very cool to see these pamphlets. I find it intriguing that the pricing is consistent across the entire lineup, and whether two piece or three. It’s unexpected that Lyle sold a 102013 at the same cost as a 7011 for example, though the labor and expense involved in production would be quite different.

Also the weights listed are remarkably accurate to the only two Dickerson’s I have owned, within 0.05 ounces!

Thanks for your effort to share these documents with us and the insights you have provided us.

Oh no. "mention with certainty" scares me. Hopefully my use of likely, probably,I believe and I think, will save me.
OK.... I stand corrected on that Marc;-)... let’s keep digging as it is fun! Thanks again.

Fantastic thread, will take me a week or two to digest all of it. Sadly, I sold my hardbound copy of the Dickerson book, but still have fond memories of one of his rods that I owned and subsequently sold to Jerry Stein. It was a 9 foot bass rod custom built for his brother. I don't know anything more about the rod except that I recall it was in excellent condition when I sold it.

Hi Marc, I hope you will find time to answer my question about Dickerson Signatures/ Script. It’s funny when I see some beautiful writing that echoes Lyle but certainly by others. Interesting and thanks in advance!

Cheers
Arthur
