Item History & Price
2 Edward Vom Hofe & Co Leather Waist Fighting Belt Harness Fish Pole Rod Holders
These are rare and hard to find Edward Vom Hofe & Co. vintage fishing rod holders. Ages unknown.
Both in vintage condition - one with missing strap, the other with damage. The rod holder with no straps appears to be in good condition with stitching intact, normal scuffs and scratches from age and use, and leather in pretty good shape with some small cracking on bottom side (see pictures).... The one with the straps is damaged. The leather has dried and weakened with age, and the strap has torn apart near where it connects with the buckle. Several other areas on the strap show partial tears. The stitching of the bottom piece has come apart wide enough that the interior steel plate can slide out. Steel plate is covered with verdigris. No attempt was made to restore or repair.
Due to the weakened condition of the leather, these would not be suitable for actual fishing use, but would make a great display addition to your vintage fishing gear collection!
Each of the holders is approximately 5" in width, and the total strap length is approximately 44".
Please examine the pictures provided, as they are an important part of the description.
