Heddon #35 Deluxe 8'6" 3x2 :
Made in 1950  and is the highest valued of the #35 model . I don抰 give monetary evaluations  on rods I can抰 see and examine . I am in Denver, you?
Heddons are either loved or hated. I think they are decent rods and have a collectors value. Some books to read more about your rod at your main library:
Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 or
Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook -Michael Sinclair .
But hard to find : Heddon. The Rod with the Fighting Heart 1997 also by Michael Sinclair .
You might be able to get it from DIck Spur:
ISBN #1-882418-26-3 - Paperback $25.00 or
Phone: (970) 243-8780 -- Fax: (970) 243-8572

Good luck and enjoy that rod
