AnswerHello Art - What you have is a produciton rod made by a company called Horrocks-Ibbotson. It dates to the 1940's and at the time was one of their high end rods and would have cost around $35 or $40. Yours appears to be in good shape and is all there. I'd say it is worth in the $150 to $250 range. I hope that helps.
