F.E. Thomas Dirigo 8.5 ft

This is the board to ask about the identity, or for an appraisal, of a rod. Please use the outline as explained on the board. If there is a makers name, list that in the subject line. Make sure you include the length, number of sections, any identifying markings and the general condition. Adding photographs is always helpful!

Thats an early one, made soon after he moved from Brewer to Bangor around 1901.
The short sections hurt the value. Maybe $150
