Down East metal rod holders

I have a set of 3 clamp-on Down East metal rod holders. These are the original single clamp holders, not the douoble clamp ones. In good shape. Asking $40 for all three together, and I'll throw in a fourth one that needs some work to bend back into shape. These are about $30 each new when you can find them. These things are very finely made in Maine. No comparison with all the Chinese junk we have to choose from today.

    Do you have pics? Just wondering if they will work on my boat. Also where are you located?

    No pics, but they're Model D10s just like the ones on their weg site:

    There are 2 splined attachment points, so you can clamp them on most anything. I'm about 10 minutes out 66 North from Delmont.

    OK, Id like to see them, but I think they will work. Can I meet you somewhere in Delmont some evening?

    Sure - I'll call you if you give me a number. I usually don't have my cell phone on. Maybe we could meet at the gun shop near the Subaru dealer. Would give me an excuse to snoop around there.

    The holders will clamp to anything except maybe a round railing. There are 2 small (maybe 8-32) tapped holes that you could use to mount them too.
