Horton/Bristol Square Steel Rod
« on: October 22, 2005, 11:03:14 AM »
Can anyone give me info about an old fishing rod I just picked up today?

It is a Bristol Square Steel Baitcasting fishing rod made by the Horton Manufacturing Company in Bristol Conn.  It appears to be in fine condition considering its age.  Overall it is about 4 feet long and has Red eyelets which may be Bakalite or Plastic.  It also came with an original cloth sock with the company logo on it.

I would like to know approximately how old this thing is.  I have found some websites which include general information about Horton/Bristol fishing equipment but nothing in depth about each model like year(s) of manufacture.
