I am performing research on a fly rod that was found in my grandparents home. The rod is marked FOLSOM, with no other markings. Also, during my research, I found a site that is selling some vintage tackle made by the Folsom company. The logo on the package is the same as the logo I saw on the rod in my grandparents home. Based on the above, I would Folsom was in the fishing tackle business (although primarily firearms) and must have made some fly rods.
