A friend brought a cane rod to me to try to put a value on it. When I removed it from it's tube and looked at the name on the rod I jumped up and went to my library and returned with a book by John Gierach wherein he ascribes the value of this rod as "worth about the same today as when it was new . . . less than $100." Yup, you guessed it - a Horrocks-Ibbotsen . . . but a very nice one
