Heddon fly rod model and age?

[Ray Hencken]

I acquired a project rod 3/2 . Butt 38 3/4", mid 37 3/4", one tip 39 1/8", 2nd tip 34". There are no markings on the rod other than the bottom of the nickle silver reel seat cap which is stamped Heddon. The reel seat is a cap and ring with a wood (walnut?) insert. Ferrules are nickle silver, measure .340 and .218, and "pop" when separated. Only the tip tops and a couple of snake guides are present. I believe that it is a 9 1/2' rod.
Any ideas as to model or age? Pictures attached.

I'd say 1st Era, 1924-1929, #14.

My thoughts are first era #13, 1930_1931 ish.
I realize that some of these #13s have red wraps with green tipping. Also, the original first models did not have a hook keep if I remember right. This rod has been refinished. Maybe this will help.



Early #14
