Nat Uslan made 5 sided bamboo rods and had gone into business shortly after world war II. He and his business partners went out of business sometime in the 50's because of the China embargo and because of fiberglass rods making it onto the market. He and his son went back into the business in the 1970's producing glass and bamboo rods.

Uslan rods are collectable. You will see them occasionally on eBay.

There's several factors that will dictate the value of your rod. If you want a pretty good estimation of value, I would post your question along with pictures at Clarks Classic Rod forum.

Is your rod a 2 or 3 piece?

OOPS...I just looked at the link above...guess I didn't add much of anything new!
