Dickerson Items For Sale

For sale- 9’ 3/2 Dickerson 901812 Tournament. 5 3/8 oz. for a 6 to 7 line. Made in 1946 for John S. Sweeney Jr. Standard brown wraps with black tipping. Reverse half wells grip, seldom seen up-locking reel seat with walnut spacer. Wire hook keeper. Original bag and tube. Originally from the Sweeney collection that was shown on page 54 of the book, Dickerson: The Man and His Rods. The Sweeney collection was sold in 1972 by the original Wanigas Rod Co. The sticker from the sale is still present on the tube cap, showing rod #22 and the price of $40.  I believe, for this particular rod, the Tournament designation indicates it is hollow built in the butt section and possibly the mid.   The Dickerson model 901812 generally weighs 5 3/4 oz. or more. The Tournament was a catalogued model, however, this is the only one I have seen firsthand and only five are listed in Dickerson's production ledger. Excellent original condition. Ferrule fit is great & rod is straight.  Original bag & tube.  $2350

For sale- Dickerson: The Man and His Rods hardcover book in excellent condition.  Limited numbered edition of 500, signed by both authors. A great resource for anyone interested in Dickerson rods or classic tackle. The hardcover version is very scarce and not many surface these days. $325
