Answer
Hi Dale,

The 10 1/2 footer is an unusual size for the W-M Aristocrat.  I have a little data on a 10 foot rod of this type.  If it is personalized, it may well have been a special order rod.  In like new condition I would guess the value to be in the $500-$600 range.

Longer rods, especially one at 10 1/2 feet, are more difficult to sell.  You may have it for a while until you find the right person to buy it.

Thanks, Joe
