5 foot granger champion?


Question
Did granger make a 5 foot bamboo fly rod or do I have a piece missing?Two sections 38" and 22" fit nicely together and separate with a pop.The reel seat reads made by goodwin granger and company denver and granger favorite can barely be read on the rod.I have the original cardboard case but the label is unreadable,no sock.The finish on the rod is intact mostly but rough and one guide feels solid but a couple of the red threads are broken and could unravel easily.Any value or should I repair and fish it. Thanks,Ken

Answer
Ken,
My first thought is , does it have a tip top (guide)? All sections should be closer to the same length.
No they did not make 5 foot rods except casting rods. Model Champions  were nine footer fly rods. Where is the reel seat below or above the grip ?
I would guess no value; if fly then someone has made a shorty out of it. If casting / spin rod then just not collectible.
If you are going to fish it make sure all parts of the bamboo, especially the wraps on ferrules are water tight. If water gets into the bamboo it can rot , weaken and break.
Luck,
Mac
