Don't want to come across as a @$$, but it's a case for rod tips. They were common "back when" rods didn't include the handy dandy all
sections fit into one rod tube. The tips were the most likely to be damaged, so some makers supplied "rod tip cases."

If I recall correctly, you would typically see a "rod sack" that had a pocket for the butt section, then a bigger pocket for the tips in a tip case.
I believe Thomas used to do this quite often (the rod sack had a hood that folded down over and tied around).
I could be completely wrong too.
This signature left intentionally blank.

Hardy's used them to send fly rod tips around the world - often made of aluminium and manufactured by Richard Wheatley

And they date back to the late 1800's with the first ones being made of Calcutta cane.

I use the bag that way, with an aftermarket rod tube, and have stored the tip tube. The slot in which I store the mid is big enough to hold the tip tube, so I suppose it could be used that way, i.e, the two tips in their separate bag and tip tube, and that tube in one of the big slots. The mid would fit in one of the slots I now use for one tip, and the other tip slot would be left over. |

Some of the tip cases are works of art in their own rights, with machined brass screw tops and nice, varnished finishes.
