the jack frost bamboo rod


Question
Hello,
I was wondering if you had information or value on two bamboo rods I recently acquired.
The first, A 9 1/2' 3 section cork handle rod marked "Bean's Belgrade Special".
The second, 9' 3 section cork and wood handle rod marked "the jack frost" Both appear to be from the 1920's, maybe 30's. Check URL for photos.
Thanks for you help,
john

Answer
John,
Your rod is not in any of my books or memory. I tend to know rods from the 30s on.
