I reckon it could be nearly your age Brian.

ie; made in the first half of the last century.

It mighn't be that old.
My first rod was made by my father from a cane blank he bought at a tackle shop.
Would have been about 1966, wish I still had it.... Come to think about it , he probably still has it in his old shed..
