old heddon

Question
i received a heddon fly rod from my grandfather. it has "#125-8'-1 1/2 F - HEHorF"   Heddon Expert   written on it. It has the the tube and the wrap with all the tips and rod sections.  Any idea of when it was made and should i use it.  What is the value of a rod like this.(not to be sold due to sentimental value? Any information on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
JD,
Heddon made the expert #125 model from 1948 to 1954.
Please do not quote me for prices, Please. Can I say please again ? I am getting the prices from Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997. You can probably find it in your local library. The 9 ft model #125  has an extra tip named "Expert"  80, 195 and $375 for poor, good, excellent respectively.
I recommend good care and yes fish it.
Good Luck
Mac
