AnswerMelvin,
You can get a professional estimate ( it costs).
You can give me a much more detailed description and I can give you a ball park figure. Please name all logos and lettering. Pictures help to

You can look up your rod in a book, if it is a bamboo (flat sides) fly rod; Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 or Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook -Michael Sinclair .
If is not a bamboo fly rod , it is not worth much, certainly not thousands barely well hundreds.
Does that explain how "neithe" you or your "biddy" won't feel ripped off ?
Luck
Mac
