I've had one since I was 12 (1955). They were made by Larry Rhode of Whiffen Archery in Wisconsin.

Could you post a picture of it?

Always interested in Archery history and its collectibles.

Thanks

I believe the Rhodes were pre Bitzenberger and for sure before JoJan. Mine is all brass and the ones I remember seeing advertised were also solid brass. I am not sure of the value but they are good jigs to use. Why would you want to sell them?
