H S 'Pinky' Gillum 9' 3/2 Cane Salmon Rod

H S (Pinky) Gillum 9' split cane rod.

Selling for a friend -

H.S. Gillum 9' 3/2 "Salmon" marked 1-817. It is from his 3rd generation (and best) series, built after the early 1950s; the reel seat is die stamped (marked H.S. GILLUM, MAKER).
It has the original tube and bag/sock. 

It has copper wraps with black and pale yellow tipping at the winding check and male ferrules. 

The cane is an amber color. 

The ferrules retain 100% of their finish. 

The grip has not been compromised in any way but there is a very slight bit of ridging which I feel is negligible. 

This rod and it is 100% original. 

The mid and tip sections are all marked 1-817 at the male ferrule end and the butt is marked at the female ferrule. 

The grip is a 7" moderate dry fly grip and has an uplocking reel seat. 

The filler is African mahogany. 

The Style is marked "Salmon", weight appears to be 6 oz, and length 9'.
