Normally not worth too much as collectors want the reels. You can get in touch with Hardy and give them the number and they can tell you who built it, when and sometimes, for who :)

Think rod dates from 1906, can check on web site http://hardy.hardybc.com/roddating.php
but best call hardy, they can put you through to the museum who should be able to give more info on rod
