Winchester Model 6755 bamboo rod

[Winter]

Wondering if anyone knows the age and value and is this a "bait" caster bamboo rod?

1) The length of the rod when assembled 10’2"
(2 ) the number of pieces that make up the rod 3
(3) if it comes with a second tip no
(4) are all the rod sections the same length yes
(5) general condition use the conditon grading system listed below 5 (missing a guide)
(6) any information that is writen on the rod or stamped in the reel seat Winchester Ttrade Mark Made in U.S.A. 6755. Pat. Apl'd For
(7) if it comes in a labeled bag and tube. No

The #6755 originally came with an extra tip section, which yours is missing. It would make a good project rod for someone, IMO. Not a lot of value, without the extra tip, bag or tube. Maybe $50-75. Just a guess there, as there is really no sales history on these. Made throughout the 1920's.

can you tell me what a roto-ring tip-top is?

The tip tops have a ring inside the wire loop that revolves.

Thanks Pat Garner for the pic

my tip looks more like the tip shown in this photo at the bottom. Does that tip have a name?

It's an standard agate tip top, an agate ring, nothing special.

OK, thanks all for commenting. Should anyone have an old Winchester catalog for Model 6755, I'd love to know the year. Unfortunately, the Patent Date is Pending. Thanks

The 6700 bait rod series where considered high grade, offered from 8'to 10' with half foot lengths in between. Should have "bell" type guides with the exception of the first guide, an agate guide. Wrapped in dark green.
Could have been build pretty much anytime between '21 and '33.

should I try to clean the cork handle before I try to sell? If so, what cleaner would you recommend. Would the ferrels be made of nickel?
