RL Winston Fly Wallet EF Payne Rod Company and enclosed in a tan

and enclosed in a tan slipcase

An excellent Leonard example and a great small stream rod

and varnished butternut slide band reel seat

It differs from my later rods by the following two details: there is a wooden lip on the reel seat where it meets the rear of the grip and the wraps are a slightly darker shade of red then the current "may rose" color that I would later settle on (with edges that are also slightly darker)

Original early bag and tube
