antique bamboo fishing rod with weird eyelets

Post by jonb » Fri Feb 21, 2014 2:39 pm

Aparently the file is too big to upload the photo of it. Id like to know what it is/ what its worth. It has 1 eyelet at the end of the rod, and 2 eyelets; facing oposite from each other in the same spot on the rod and the only words I can read on it is "acme". Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response, yes extremely old, I bet 1920s or 1930s
