Selling Olaf Borge's Collection

#1

Post by cnbuzzbee »

hello! Our uncle, Olaf Borge, was an enterprising fly fisherman from Viroqua. His collection of bamboo rods, unboxed imported silk fly lines, and reels have been lying dormant since he passed in 2015. We'd love for his items to find good homes with his fellow enthusiasts....which is why we're here.

Hi. Welcome!! You could send some photos of each item under the appraisal section to get an idea of the value of the different items. I would start there because you need to get a sense of what they are worth. Let me know if you have other questions. I’m sure others will chime in. Jed

We are all quite glad you are here too... I myself have been wanting to try different silk tapers since acquiring a few new rods.
Sure would be a joy to see his reel collection too.
Maybe own one.

Just wondering to see if anyone has heard anything - or did I miss the party already ?
