Seals fly casting and combination rods

Question
In cleaning out a closet we came across a bamboo rod set from the 50's given to my husband by a friend when he was a boy.  It is in a wooden case has 6 parts (black)each part under 36".  Made in Japan, fresh water set. Do we save it or not,is it junk or valuable, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them?  I don't know if it has been used in 50 years.

Answer
Joan,
To be sure I'd need to see pictures but generally combination rods are not collectable enough to sell. Same with Japanese rods. Originally sold by the thousands to GIs in a light long box with lures and huge flies from 1946 to the 70s . Mostly considered trinkets by collectors but memorial to GIs , they have little resale or fishing value. I have never seen any written history on them in English except the following. http://www.maxrod.net/article/
There is  a book  on Goggle books, with a little history  and a  limited preview: Bamboo In Japan by Nancy Moore Bess
They are probably not even made from Tonkin cane like most vintage bamboo fly rods .
I have cast several and they are terrible fishing tools.

Luck,
Mac
