BF222 Orvis 8', 2/2 Impregnated Battenkill, built in 1967 by Calvin Skinner. The rod has a cigar grip with a down-locking aluminum reel seat with walnut spacer. The rod is wrapped with brown thread. It weighs 4 3/8 oz. and will cast a 7 weight line. Both tips are full length and straight. The serial number is 466XX. It has blued nickel silver ferrules and a carbide stripper. The butt and one tip are missing a serial number. It appears there was a light overcoat of varnish which has been removed. The rod includes the torn original cloth bag and aluminum tube. The condition is very good plus.
