This rod by Charles Baillie is a VERY collectable item, hell even the card is a collectable. The card lists his address as King St, he moved to that address in 1898 and remained there until about 1917. From the picture it looks like the rod is a "lashed " rod, no ferrules. There is a very good chance that this rod is pre 1900. He also put his rods up in a very nice form case, much like Dingee Scribner's. Its thought that his total output of rods was rather low, which explains why many more of Dingee's rods are in todays collections. In all the years I've worked with old rods I've only seen one Baillie rod, and it wasn't for sale.
