I am going to recommend you post a question at this website

I recommend taking photos of the reel seat, any markings and the bamboo itself.
I expect your rod is in the $50-$150 range depending on condition, original bag, aluminum tube, both tips (most fly rods came with a replacement tip). Condition on bamboo rods goes down quickly if they are not near mint.
