Look like one piece glass boat rods .maybe take a picture of the badges or writing if there is any and people be able to help more.

I was going to say Boat rods too. Bit unusual that they are only 5.5ft. The Yellow one looks like it has lined rings too, so not that old in the greater scheme of things. As @Skaterboy said, possibly made in New Zealand - they do things a bit different down there!

I have an old Abu boat rod in the shed, has wooden handle and put together to the blank by a screw fitting. It is also solid fibreglass and about 6ft long o/a made in 60's if I remember with chrome rings.

From the looks of them they are not modern rings. They look like porcelain so they are quite old

Chuck them away and get some new ones.

I agree with flappy,it would be worth putting new rings on it

I think flappy is saying chuck the lot not just replace the rings.

cheep old rods worth around 20£ rings for the rod would cost more then the rod worth , and you would have to pay someone to whip them on 30 -50 per rod mates rates ,

Having seen the pictures, remove the guides, reel seat and grips, sand down and put next to your tomato plants to assist growth.
