9 fly rod

Question
Purchased at an estate sale.  Don't think it is too old.  Heddon 9' 3 piece. Looks like wood(brown)but I think it might be fiberglass.  Above the handle the name Heddon. Aroung the rod shaft is the  number 2030-E-7  Brass screw seat with red plastic end cap. On the screw is this: U.S.Pats.1624052-1961968-1961969-1961970  Might be numbers for each of the three sections.  It has two tips and is fairly heavy and real squirrly.  Slow.  I purchased it for $25.00.  I will not fish with it, just put in on a rack with a couple other old bamboo rods I have collected.  Any help is surely appreciated.  Thanks again.

Answer
Pat,
I believe what you have there is a fiberglass rod (round sided) which is not bamboo(flat sided). Therefor not collectible by most peoples standards. There isn't even a book dedicated to fiberglass due to the lack of interest.
The model number  2030 is not in my book,Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000).
E is line weight, comparable  to 5 weight in modern lines.
Luck,
Mac
