Montaguue saltwater boat rod

Answer
George,
These old boat rods seem to be enjoying a bit of a resurgence of interest from anglers. Out here in the West US the only use I have for big thick heavy rods is to make wading staffs out of them.
I assume your rod is bamboo. Length and model does make a difference as to value. I assume you have a Montague not Montaguue .
History of the maker:

Boat rods have little to no history collected and saved. The collectors are looking for trout US bamboo fly rods.
You might check ebay for prices - there were none today.
I would estimate like $40.
Luck,
Mac
