Answer
Hi Ted,

The Browning Silaflex rods were very good rods in that era and have some collector value. I know that fly rods can get a pretty good price on E-bay.  

If those are in good condition, I'd say they may be worth at least $50 to $100.  Maybe more if they are in tubes.

Yes, you are correct that they are probably from the 50's or early 60's.  As far as what model they are, I couldn't help with that.

Another expert on this site, Joe Douglas, could probably help you more with details.

Those are nice rods!

Good fishing,

Marc
