Title: What Are These Roller Guides?
Post by: Keta on January 02, 2025, 05:37:03 PM
Does anyone know what these guides are and what they are worth?  If anyone is interested in them I have a bunch I need to sell for a reasonable price.

Lee, I think they are Allen's. As to worth, no idea, as I don't know where I've seen them for sale in any catalogs. I'm sure someone has. My money would be on Sheridan.

Could be alps/batson, they look similar. Do they have any markings on them?

How cheap is cheap? Never built a roller rod but if the price is right so is the idea.

I have a bunch, like several rods worth. I just got home from my shop next time I go there I will count them.

If I knew what they are worth I would part with them for 50%.  If I hadn't been laid off since November and $ is tight I would go with 30% of MSRP.
