CONDITION NOTES:

Excellent, virtually brand new old stock! Very minor 'shelf-wear' throughout but looks like it has never been used. Original paper label remains with just minor -to- moderate overall wear (see 3rd pic). Monogrammed at two end panels (see 5th pic for close-up of one). Extraordinary clean example! See pics.

DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT:

Jaws are 14" long, each. Max opening is approx. 8" (I had the rods in the wrong places for the pictures, which is why the 8th picture shows 7" max but you can see how the top rod has at least another inch left, if it were swapped with the other rod - sorry for the confusion). Please see ruler in pictures for size/scale reference. Additional measurements shall be provided upon request. Total weight is 3 lbs. 7.5 oz..
