I’m not sure if I’m on the right forum. I’m trying to find details/value of an old fishing rod that my grandfather left me. It is a Pflueger p-4386 8 1/2’ bamboo rod. Any info would be appreciated. I couldn’t find anything on Google. I’m guessing it’s pretty old. 50’s-70’s? Maybe older?  I’m not sure how to attach photos to the forum. 

The only references I could find to Pflueger cane rods were posted here.  

You'll also find the audience for discussion on that link - work on your photos.  

MontyMan implies Pflueger fly rods were made by Union Hardware, which also implies they were prewar.  You can be certain Shakespeare/ South Bend didn't make it - they literally remained in court over reel patents coninuously from 1915 until Shakespeare bought Pflueger in 1966.  

Condition is everything, and photos are always the place to begin.  

8-1/2' is a very desirable tailwater rod, or big western river rod.  

While the length difference doesn't sound like much, 8-1/2' cane is notably lighter than 9' and more desirable to fish  (9' is more common in blue collar cane, and all are over 5 oz) 

All this said, ballpark value on a fishable rod is $200 +/-
