tapered..., tempered..... Number 14, Fer. 2 1/2, Lgt. 9,  Weight (without
locking reel seat) 5oz.  final inspector's O.K. 3. It is in a steel tube with a label
that says Heddon the rod with the fighting heart, James Heddon's Sons
Dowagiac, Michigan This was handed down to me and I was wondering if it is  
worth anything. Thanks for any help you can give me. Gary

Answer
Gary,
I am assuming 'Lgt. 9' means the total rod length is 9 feet.

The butt ferrule size is designated by "2F" or "2 ?F". The larger the number, the stiffer the rod. For three piece rods, a 2F is usually a trout rod and 2 ?F is a bass rod.
History of Heddon rod Co http://www.lu-c-an.com/JamesHeddon.htm

According to Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997; the 9 ft model #14 Thorobred has an extra tip (unbroken)  valued at  $50, 115 and $240 for poor, good, and excellent condition respectively.

Luck,
Mac
