Early Original Antique Rare Charles Wheeler Bamboo Fishing Fly Rod 11′ 6 Long

11′ 6 long with each of 3 section measuring approx. 46 3/4 , is this very early original Charles E Wheeler bamboo fly rod. 3 sections and a wooden tube cradle, appears to be all original, rattan cigar grip, with soldered nickel plated reel seat and butt. All swivel strings guides appear intact, to go along with the spear tip ferrules, original red string wraps with original shellac and patina. Rod has a pat date Jan 10 1888 but no stamped signature that I can see? Many Wheeler rods were unsigned, but I’m fairly certain that this rod can be attributed to Wheeler with most characteristics being spot on.
