Possibly Edward Vom Hofe, as indicated by the numbered reel seat. Two of the links won't open for me, though, so more photos would help.

I consolidated your three posts but, sorry, the other photos that don't show up here were not working.

I love and collect vintage rods, but this topic belongs on the Everything But Reels thread, unless there is some association with a vintage reel that I’m missing.

The rod butt, gimble, reel seat and bamboo rod tip are Edward vom Hofe.
The roller tip is early Tycoon Tackle.
The guides are Lee's or Ocean City but not Tycoon or vom Hofe.
It's a "Frankenrod"

It's fine here. Per the Reel Talk Index: "ORCA Online Forum - Feel free to talk or ask about ALL kinds of old tackle here, with an emphasis on old reels! "
"Everything But Reels" was for people to talk about their pet dog or love of water skiing

Was this rod made in the 1920's or 1930's ?

Thank you
