So a buddy of mine contacted me about a rod he got from a friend. The friend said it's over 100 years old. There's no markings on it. No serial numbers names nothing. Gets me thinking it's a custom build. I told him to research the type of bamboo by looking at the grain to determine what type of bamboo was used. So he's doing that. He wants to know the value to sell it the friend said he should be able to get 100 for it and don't take anything less. But anyways here's some photos. It's a 3 piece with two different ends. So multi weight fly rod I assume.

So many types of those were made back in the day. Many custom/ home built so I doubt you'll be able to identify it. Definently a nice find tho
