Trumpet guides

Question
I found a 1 piece rod made of ash or hickory, something other than bamboo and it has these tubular guides. I was wondering how old this rod would be

Answer

From your description its hard to tell the date, most likely pre WWI. I you could try posting photos at this web site

But its hard to tell if your rod is a fly rod, etc.

you can also send photos to me at [email protected]

PS keep me in mind if you have any old fishing lures for sale.
