RAYMOND C. RUMPF & SON HAND HELD LANDING NET EX+!

A handsome Raymond C. Rumpf & Son steam-bent wooden trout landing net, combining traditional construction with the clean, functional design associated with classic American fly-fishing equipment. The net features a gracefully shaped laminated wood frame and integral handle, with contrasting woods creating an attractive two-tone appearance. The teardrop-shaped hoop flows neatly into the handle, while the center throat section bears the Raymond C. Rumpf & Son maker’s mark, an especially desirable detail for collectors of identifiable vintage angling equipment. Fitted to the frame is a deep, dark green cotton knotted mesh net bag, well-suited to traditional trout fishing. The handle terminates in a metal ring fitted with a swivel snap clip, allowing the net to be conveniently attached to a fishing vest, creel, belt loop, or other gear while streamside. The wood displays an appealing warm finish with visible grain and contrasting laminated edges. The net appears to remain in very good overall condition, showing light signs of use and age consistent with a vintage fishing accessory. An attractive and practical example of a Raymond C. Rumpf & Son landing net, equally suited to a collection of vintage fly-fishing tackle or for display alongside classic rods, reels, creels, and other traditional angling equipment.
