The large trout logo was used from 1923 to 1929.

That's a "bass" logo. I think it's from that same 1920s era.
It would help to know what length the rod is, and the wrap colors might be found in Michael Sinclair's Bamboo Restoration Handbook. But I run across a lot of early H-Is with no apparent model name. |

1919-1922
1919-1922 is the most likely time frame as that decal was used imbetween the Diamond UTK and the trout and the setting sun label periods which where; Diamond UTK 1904-1918 and the trout label was used from 1923-29. not many around with that clean of a bass label. GNOME
