grayson is on a distinguished road
Default Hardy Rod ?

An old friend - aged 95- has asked me to dispose of his gear.Most of it is beyond use and valueless sadly but I have found one interesting rod.It is a 2 piece cane flyrod of about 10 feet.No marking on the rod at all- but nice finish with maroon whipping.It is in a bag into which it fits perfectly and which is marked Hardys Alnwick and 'By appointment to the late George V and to The Prince of Wales 1931-36'.Suspect may be for seatrout but am no expert with cane (they all feel horrid to me !)

Thoughts on value , 'provenance' etc welcome.I intend to sell and donate to WTT or similar.
