Answer
Bill,
I have no interest but you might try my friend the Gnome ,aka Jeff Hatton - Gnomish Rod Works  Paonia, CO email gnomishrodworks@tds.net
He has written a great book "Rod Crafting A Full-Color Pictorial & Written History from 1843-1960 " which I own and has allot of wooden and older  rods in it and he knows these really old rods pretty well.  If you contact him tell him Mac from Denver sent you.
