Answer
Ron
The South Bend Model #24  is 8 1/2 feet , 3 sections with 2 tips.  The amounts I am giving you must match the above description. Check completed sales on ebay for more prices. I take my estimates from Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997.
In poor to fair condition  $35, good to very good $90, ex-mint 165. Most people over estimate and believe their rods to be excellent / mint. This means the rod has never been used, has 2 tips, all sections  of equal length , clean cork , all labels new looking especially the cork label etc.
Good luck
