It is 9 foot long and in a 3 piece model.
It has an extra tip section too.
Amazingly all three section and the tip are full length and fair straight.
On the butt section it has an inscription:
"Made by"
"H.J. Calkins"
"Sacramento, Cal."
It has the old Powell reel seat - aluminum with black synthetic barrel
It has nickel silver ferrules so it is not a cheap rod.
It has the original metal rod tube but the cap on the bottom is missing.
It has the original rod sock but is really shot.
It need to go to a profession split cane restorer or forget it.

Jim Victorine up near Auburn could probably restore it.
After all that I am not sure I would fish with it.

Anyone interested in buying it ...cheap?
