About this Item
Utica, New York. Horrocks-Ibbotson Co. [n. d. but 1932]. Sextodecimo (6 x 2 1/2). 12 pp. Text drawings. The title of the booklet refers to Chinese Tonkin Cane which has been treated with a Chinese "secret substance" and that Horrocks-Ibbotson called "Hexi-Super-Cane-Rods." The rod manufacturer claimed these new rods provided 25% greater tensile strength, more snap, sensitivity, no twisting, and longer life; in short a wonder rod: "A Chinese Secret that puts more thrills in Fishing." There's also ads for reels, flies, and lines. The booklet is bound yellow wrappers with red and black titles. A quite scarce catalog. With the stamp of a tackle dealer on the front and back covers. Very good. Seller Inventory # 010837

Shipping Terms:
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. My chosen shipping option is the U. S. Postal Service. USPS is the best in terms of service and cost efficiency ¿ even though recent overseas rates, effective January 2013, have skyrocketed. USPS requires mails sent overseas and Canada can ONLY be sent by AIRMAIL. Charged at actual cost. Other overseas shipping options are available, such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.; however, they are frightfully expensive.
