AnswerPatrick,
I think it is collectable. Most 2 piece 7 foot rods will draw interest.
South Bend made 2 qualities of rods , the lower with up to 3 digit models are average. The Cross model rods were very good. I know SB had 4 digit models but they are not in my price book:
Antique & Collectible Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000) add about 30% for age of book
All experts only allows one photo. I can't tell how valuable your rod is with out photos. Please send them to
