Bamboo fishing rod

I was snooping around basement of my house (c. 1942) and found this
old fishing rod, what a beauty!

This is a 3 piece rod, about 12 foot overall, with aluminum fittings. Single loop on the top. 
The quality does not indicate a high quality rod, but the bamboo is absolutely beautiful.
The company still operates with under $1 million in revenues.

Original Sticker:

No. S 123 
West Point Pole 
B and M Company
West Point, Miss.
Japan (bamboo I assume)
