Fly rod history and value


Question
I inherited the following from my granddad.  He purchaed new in the 1950's or 1960's: Hedon Pal #8409, Mark III, 9' Fas-Tip Action (no "t" on Fas), B-GBG-GAF.  It is a glass, two piece fly rod. I don't know what I have but would like to know. Also would like to get an idea of value. I am not selling, it is a keepsake for me. It has been in a case and, other than cork darkening, looks like it was used very little.  Thank you
