Answer
Angela,
Don't know what a case number is but Hardy Palakona bamboo rods have a serial number starting with a single letter and then 5 numbers.
I need a much more complete description:
send pictures especially labels or logos to me macsrods@yahoo.com and a complete description including as much the following as 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 of the rod above the cork? 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
