Answer
I have to assume that you have a bait casting rod not a fly rod. A casting rod has the reel seat above the handle, while a fly rod has the reel seat (holder) below the cork handle. If there is a value to bamboo casting rods I have not found a good place to sell them especially ebay. I have not been able to give them away to tell you the truth.
Good luck , sorry But I don't have much information because history books on casting rods are rare. I am a fly fisher and a bamboo fly rod man myself. You might try orvis.com
Good luck
