Old Rod Wall Mount

Recently, my dad gave me a handful of old rods and reels. This one in particular belonged to his Uncle(my Great Uncle). Can't really find any info on this to know how old it actually is. Anyone here happen to be familiar with older rods that might have a ballpark date for it?

Eagle Claw "Challenger" by Wright & McGill
No. CG401 6-1/2' Trolling Rod

Anyway, given its condition, I knew I'd never fish it, but I thought it would make a cool wall-mount! Got some unfinished wooden curtain rods and stained them in a silver/grey finish. Mounted them above some artwork and a few vintage CA plates from my collection. Pretty stoked on it. Thought I'd share!
