Thanks for the kind compliments. I've wondered about the number also--yes, it is "#322"--I'm inclined to think of it as serial number only because I've never seen any other similar number (unlike the usual #1510, #1520 Folsom models) but I'm just guessing.

I would have to agree that your rod is one of the most stunning Heddon 8 footers I've ever seen!
I notice it is inked #322 (if I'm seeing correctly) above the hookkeeper. Curious if that would be a serial no. or model no.?

Anyway, it's a definite keeper!

As selling price increased over the years Heddon Folsom rods retained the same model number.
Therefore, a 1520 is not a #20 grade Heddon, but a Model #17 that originally sold for $20.00. Obviously some 1500 series rods were also assigned to Edwards/Winchester.
