Default Old fly rods from my grandpa

Just thought I would share some pictures of some old fly rods I inherited from my grandpa. Not looking to sell these. If you have any information about these old rods I would love to hear about it.

First rod is a Major Rod. Made in Canada. Model H-85 I believe.3 piece. Its about 8`6``. There is very very little information on the internet about this rod except for it was possibly from the 1940`s.

Second rod is a Gold Tiger. 8` long. No model number. I found on the internet they were made in Japan from about 1948 to 1962 and many were sold to Canadian and US soldiers to help stimulate Japan`s economy after world war 2. I also read that they were really cheap junk rods. It also has a reel with no name or numbers on it so Im assuming its came with it. Its a 3 piece rod as well but it has 2 different tip sections. One of them is stiff and the other is pretty flexible.
