ZEBCO Centennial Rod/Reel Combo

Came across a Zebco 600 reel that was on Zebco Centennial rod. The rod is a 6' pack rod that breaks down into 4 pieces. The rod is numbered 4064 of the series. It's in decent condition with a little cork missing from bottom handle of the rod and one eyelet missing. Just wondering if it was worth anything before I took it out and used it. Also picked up a early 33 not sure how old it is though. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..

You have the third version.

First production is painted black, has two chrome rings on the front cover and two more on the back cover. Zebco is on the front cover and the number is beneath the word in very small characters.

Second production has Zebco in somewhat larger type and the number is considerably larger.

Third production has a black powder coat finish with nothing on the front cover and Zebco 600 on the top of the back cover.

Fourth production has a bronze colored front cover, Zebco on the top of the back cover and the number 600 on a sticker that goes around the front cover.

Production dates were 1970-84. (I think it was '84. I'm at work now)

Regards,
Clinton
