The mount for the Montauk is a large aluminum casting which was only used on Whalers with the shepherd's crook. They were a BW option, not an aftermarket addition. They are difficult to find, and don't come up for sale often. They are nice to have if you want to keep your BW as original. There are chromed mounts that fit into the aluminum casting, and a chromed elbow that fits between the chrome mount and the actual pole. I have seen the casting, with the chrome mounts, selling from $500 to $1,000. The entire setup, with the poles, should be a couple hundred more than that. Those I saw for sale had some dings and scratches. A really clean set should go for more. On my Montauk, the poles came in a canvas bag, that matched the cover canvass. I think that was original equipment, and if so, it would be very desirable to someone who wants a very original setup. I have a really clean set, and If I wanted to sell it as a set, I wouldn't take less than $1,200.
