Thomas & Thomas - Sans Pareil 7'6" 2/4 5wt Bamboo Rod

For sale here is a beautiful Thomas & Thomas Sans Pareil 7'6" 2-piece / 4-tip 5wt bamboo rod in excellent condition. Serial #2638, made in 1976 and scripted throughout with Tom Maxwell's distinctive handwriting. 2x heavy tips and 2x light tips. Lightly toned cane with dark guides, high-bridge carbide stripping guide and transparent tan windings. Blued ferrules fit perfectly, and the tips are marked for ease of rotation. All sections are straight, full length & serialized. Strap & ring hook keeper, 6" cork grip is smooth with light soiling, and the rod is fitted with a cap & ring reel seat over a nicely figured wood spacer. The reel seat hardware doesn't have a mark on it, it's possible the bluing was touched up. Weight is 4.09oz (the light tips weigh ~1g less than the heavy tips). Medium action, a true 5wt in my hands. The butt has a prominent swell which gives the rod some power for those longer casts. A gorgeous custom order from the early days at T&T, sold in the original bag with stiffener and Champion tube.
