1907 Bristol metal fly rod


Question
I have come across the above and was wondering what it might be worth.  Description: a round telescopic rod, line runs down through handle/shaft, handle is wood and silver or chrome plated metal.
Please let me know.  THANK YOU TOM

Answer
Tom,
History :
http://www.oldfishingstuff.com/horton_mfg_co.htm

Bristol rods are mentioned in Antique %26 Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification %26 Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000).
Nothing with 1907.
These old metal rods are sapiently worthless unless you sell them for a wall hanger like $25. I have tried without luck. The metals just aren't collectable like the bamboo. I have one and it is not fishable either, ruin my arm  after a few moments.
Luck,
Mac
