Forest and Stream (USA), 1875, About a Leonard Rod. “The magazine reported that the celebrated Maine craftsman was making an exhibition rod for Abbey & Imbre, which would be put on display at the 1886 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The rod was to have a solid-gold reel seat set with amethysts and precious stones, gold ferrules and guides, and gold silk windings. The cost would be ‘about $2.000’ Gilded Age indeed. There’s no record of whether anyone actually bought the rod, but there were plenty in New York in 1875 who had the means to do so.” (Quote from G. Black, “Casting a Spell” p. 38).

Black, “Casting a Spell” p. 35).
