Answer
Jim,
Books:
The Classic Angler  Value Guide for Bamboo Fly Rods
Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000)
Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook -Michael Sinclair
Classic & Antique Fly-Fishing Tackle: A Guide for Collectors & Anglers by AJ Campbell

Homel gives the Wright & McGill Granger 9  model "Special" fly rod c. 1950 with an extra tip, 3 sections the  value of  $70, 170 and $325 for poor, good, excellent condition respectively.
He doesn't mention the Premier model but my experience says this value is close.
Not used , I would try to get $400 for it

Good Luck,
Mac
