About Me"Grant Vibration" rod, three piece Greenheart with splice joints, marked "935" 15' with spare tip, leather thongs and bag.

Alexander Grant applied for a patent for a non-slipping splice for fishing rods, golf club handles and other like articles on 29 May 1894 (No. 10385), and was accepted on 4 May 1895. In the early 1900s, Grant sold the rights to make his vibration rod to Playfair of Aberdeen.
