value of heddon thoroughbred rod

Question
I have a 9' Heddon Thorobred.  On the rod it says #14-9'-2 1/2f-HCH or D.  I bought it used about 54 years ago.  Wondering what it is worth.  Good shape.  I replaced one ferrule.

Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000) add about 30% for age of book

Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook by Michael Sinclair

Sinclair: Heddon made a #14 from 1924 through 1954. It was no named early . In 1930 it was named the Thorobred. It has always had red thread wrappings. In 1939 they made the reel seats out off tenite usually a marbleized finish  and coral colored. From the rod text description  your rod was made in 1954 give or take 6 months.

Homel gives the 9 ft model 14 "Thorobred" heavy trout fly rod with an extra tip, 3 sections a value of  $50, 115 and $210 for poor, good, excellent condition respectively. Probably under $100 but check ebay.

Luck,
