Six pieces : (1) 35" handle, 2 -34"middle sections, 1 end section 34 " and 2 end sections 25"
very good  condition except for case

Answer
Winfrey,
If you want a better estimate :
If you are asking for the id or value  of an old rod please give a complete description , send pictures especially labels or logos to me, macsrods@yahoo.com and a complete description including any of following that you can:
Is it? fly or casting rod ? Reel seat is below or above the cork handle ?
Check metal for id and patents ? What is it made of; bamboo ( flat sided) fiberglass or graphite ( round)? Weight in oz? What is the diameter  (not circumference) of the rod above the handle? Where was it purchased ? What type of metal nickel-silver, tin, or chrome platted brass? A complete description of any logos or labels. Length of rod per section and number of sections. Total rod length.

and
Do the pieces fit together? Is this one rod or two ? Is it a combo rod ? spin / fly ?


My guesstimate:
Price Book: Antique & Collectible  Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000) add about 30% for age of book.

Homel gives the average for Abbey & Imbie fly rods usually with an extra tip and  3 sections the  value of  $44, 132 and 234 for poor, good, excellent condition respectively.

Luck,
Mac
