Kingfisher sold the rods made by Montague. It is not a quality enough rod to have a serial number.A model might pin down history and value but it is importunely predictably low value.

Books:
Price Book: Antique & Collectible  Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000) add about 30% for age of book.
Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook by Michael Sinclair
Classic & Antique Fly-Fishing Tackle: A Guide for Collectors & Anglers by A.J. Campbell

Most of these books are at the local library

Homel gives the average kingfisher with an extra tip, 3 sections bamboo fly rods only, a value of 20, 50 and 120  for poor, good, excellent condition respectively.

But . . .They are looked down upon by the collecting community and often they are justified. They were sort of mass produced , rather heavy and very slow. They are not going to resale for very much.
A small portion of these rods are decent fishing tools . It is the collector community that decides the prices , please  don't blame the messenger.
