Orvis database addition
#1Here is one more for the records, Orvis"125", #85994, 8' 2/2,4 1/4 oz. The name on the rod is Nathan Miller Adams and appears to be unused. Thanks, Livingstone.

#2Thanks for the information, it will appear in the January update.
From my notes:
"The “125” was The Orvis Company’s special high-grade series of rods produced from 1981 through 1985 replacing the “Wes Jordan” series. Initially available in the popular 12/64-ferrule 7 ½-foot and 8-foot models, by 1982, most of the standard and “specialty’ tapers were offered in this grade. All featured nickel silver reel seat hardware with stamped logos and tipped wraps. There where grip, reel seat, case (leather or gray anodized) and personalization options."
Best regards,
Greg
