My big regret is my rod-winder that I had from Herter's. Someone
borrowed it. We had a rod-building class and I took it. Everyone was
admiring the rod-winder. I put it in the top of my cardboard box full
of rod-building junk, When I got home, it wasn't there. Someone must
have borrowed it and forgot to bring it back.
I've still got a couple of spools of thread that have a Herter's label
on them. They're probably about rotted out by now.
I still have the first Herter's rod that I built. It was a bait-casting
fiberglass rod that was as sensitive as a bamboo - a full-flex rod. You
could feel every little bump in the grip. I should replace the guides
on it, they're starting to look pretty skuzzy.

That really DOES date you. And I thought I was getting myself
'dated' when I found some stuff from a fly shop that closed in 1985.
