Lee Wulff was a renown fly fishing guide, some consider him the father of modern fly fishing.
He invented the fly vest and was instrumental in using chest waders.
Farlows did not make rods but sell outdoor sporting equipment and put their name on it. Farlows is like Orvis here in the US.

Value depends on type of rod. I doubt if  you are going to find mention on this rod. You would have to research in the UK and Canada.
If you want more from me, you would want to answer all, or as many as you can, my questions at

You have a Scottish rod made by a very good company.
History :
They have been around since the 1800s and continue on today. See their website at http://www.farlows.co.uk/
This old Colorado boy has actually bought some fly tying tools there,  but they  are basically a fly shop , lots  of salmon stuff so not like the fly shops we have here in the west US.
And  try Farlows of London

In the library you might try:
Classic & Antique Fly-Fishing Tackle: A Guide for Collectors & Anglers by A.J. Campbell
and
Fishing Tackle: A Collector's Guide  Hardcover, 1991 Graham Turner (hard to find)
