I agree with Bobby, it sounds like you have a post WWII Japanese rod. American soldiers brought these home by the millions. Not worth much, not very well built. Probably won't fish very well, or should I say very long(the ferrules & guides were poorly mounted, the thread comes off). These come up daily on ebay and in mint condition bring between $50-$100.
