Answer
Hi John,
I've seen a couple of different versions of the all-in-one type rods. There isn't a big collector following that I'm aware of, but they are interesting rods. It may be earlier than the 1950s, perhaps as early as the 1930s. In decent condition I would guess it would be valued in the $30-$50 range.
It is probably worth more to you as something you got from your dad.
Thanks, Joe
