Not sure when the rod was first introduced but it was still being listed in the "Edgar Sealey Fishing Equipment 1964 Price list" ... by which time the"Two Fishes" logo had been adopted. 9ft., 3 piece built cane with one top selling at 90 shillings (£4 . 50p in today's toy money).

It seemed a lot more on my plumber apprentices wages. Over a weeks work, 44 hours then too

Many Thanks for the info
