Late 50's split bamboo Thomas rod co.

If anyone here has iny info on this rod, my friend would appreciate it.

---------------from a friend of mine--------------

“I really don’t know much about this rod but if any of you know anything I would appreciate it. The rod is split bamboo from the mid-late 50s. Made by Thomas Rod Company in MA. It is about 10’ long and has two tips. The rod is in 4 pieces with a cork grip. THere is an odd extension that goes into the base of the grip that is about 6 inches long. It has a silver insert, cork handle and sort of a reddish brown rubber plug at the end. My father calls it a Salmon rod. Any idea about the value?”
