Tell me about my grandfathers rods.

Some of you guys were kind enough recently to give me advice about which
kind of reel I should buy to go with my old Fenwick rod. Well, I haven't
bought a reel yet but I have another request. I dug into the old tubes that
my grandfathers old cane rods were sent to me from England in, and I wonder
if any of you guys have any knowledge about them. I have a total of four
rods, two of which are are not fly rods. They a

a) A Foster Bros three piece fly rod of about 8'6" to 9', labelled The "WLF"
although the last letter may be a Y.

b) A Foster Bros. two piece rod labelled the "Holding". This is not a fly
rod.

c) Another coarse fishing rod: an Allcocks two piece spinning rod without a
model name on the rod itself

d) An unidentified trout rod of about 8'. I can find no makers name on this
which surprises me as it another nice looking rod. It has a slide band type
reel seat. The cork of the handle appears to have been knawn on by rats. The
butt cap (if that is the word) has the remains of a piece of brown leather
sticking out from it. What would this have been for? This leather flap has
also has been chewed by something. I guess ID' ing this reel will not be
easy. Is there anywhere I might have missed a makers mark?

Is there some way to repair the (rodent) damaged rod?

Anyway, thanks for any help. They are the only things I have of my
grandfathers and I would like to keep them.
