H-I Trout Decal

Question
Hello,

I just picked up a H-I bamboo rod with the Horrocks Ibbotson Trout decal on it.  It is a trout atop a gold/yellow circle with a setting sun over gold water.  It has the words Horrocks Ibbotson Utica, N.Y. printed above the sun and Hudson printed below.  Is this a "rare" rod?  Any idea of value?  Thanks!

Answer
Blake ,
The simple answer is no,it's not rare or valuable.  
I can see you didn't read my introduction page . So here it is:
Horrocks-Ibbotson are looked down upon by the collecting community and often they are justified. They were mass produced , rather heavy and very slow. They are not going to resale for very much.
I find two books are available at larger libraries to get history and or value:
Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997
Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook -Michael Sinclair
The Hudson model is not mentioned in Homel.
Sinclair has the Hudson models 6th of 10 in cost in 1930.
Value - probably under $50 , depends on condition. Less if in poor condition , more if restored.
Good Luck
Mac
