I've no idea what it is and it may well be some unimportant maker, but appears to be a 'Boy's' rod of some type. It is split cane throughout and the cane does appear to be in good condition to my untrained eye although it looks as if someone has had a go a cleaning it up.
Most of the red silk whippings appear to be original, the rod is 3 equal sections each 36 ins long making a light 9 foot coarse rod which feels very pleasant in the hand. There is a screw reel fitting and all the eyes are lined. It has been re-varnished shortly before I acquired it with several others, one of which is a 10 foot split cane Sealey Roach Rod in very near original condition with just a little scratch damage to original decals and usual signs of use.
The seller informed me that this 9 foot was also a Sealey, but there are no decals left at all. I am by no means certain it is and I actually thought it might be 'Black Seal' or some such lesser marque. The only thing that intrigued me and makes me ask what the experts think this is the fact that what appears might be the shadowy remains of a Sealey double-fish logo can be seen under the new varnish in one of the photos attached.
