What color would that have been? Just wondering, I don't have one.

Browning Sky Poles were brown in the 1960's. I didn't think that Gill acquired the Sky Pole name until later. In any event, it looks like there is a 16' Browning pole that just got posted for sale in Canada. I'm curious as to why you want one of these and why a 16-footer.
May the Force be with you!
