As to value, I'm sorry to say your Heddon would not merit much. Being it is a Model 13, one tip rod, short 2" of the original 9', and wrapped with incorrect threads. Maybe a $100.00, or a little more? Would make a fine project rod for sure, and likely would make a pretty good fishing rod, albeit being two inches short.

Probably wouldn't merit a full restoration, but if was cleaned up and rewrapped with the correct threads it would make a... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (bobbeegee) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/111189 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 13:00:31 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/111183/t/please-help-to-identify-9-heddon-spiral-rod.html#reply-111183 alas - upon examination using magnification, i did find the number 13 written below the spiral signature .... partially over the wrapping where the hook keeper would be ...... the keeper is either missing or never had one....... since the wrap in this area appears to be original and there appears to be no damage to it or anything indicating that one had ever been wrapped ........ i cannot know which is the case.

According to Michael Sinclair's Heddon book, the Model #13 was built for only two years, 1937,38, with an UL Pyralin seat and
NS Gunmetal ferrules. The correct wraps would be Orange/Black. These rods were supposedly to have been built with a Half-Wells
grip, of which yours is not. I've seen lots of Heddons though that didn't always jive with the most usual components of a... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (bobbeegee) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/111073 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 13:31:48 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/111064/t/please-help-to-identify-9-heddon-spiral-rod.html#reply-111064 Richard ]]> feeds@yuku.com (reelill) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/111064 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 12:21:13 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/111053/t/please-help-to-identify-9-heddon-spiral-rod.html#reply-111053 ]]> feeds@yuku.com (tedgolden) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/111053 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 11:48:21 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/111019/t/please-help-to-identify-9-heddon-spiral-rod.html#reply-111019 cebfishing wrote:

The first three sections belong to the heddon rod. Remaining parts are from another rod. Regarding the Heddon...It has been refinished with this red thread. Hopefully the guides were replaced as original. In 9ft, only the #8, #10, and #13 models had 4 guides plus the tip guide. The rest had 5 guides plus tip, or more.
