New purchase

Hi. I just purchased two H&I 8ft. 3pc. " Canada creek" rods. I could not pass them up even though they are heavy. They were bought in 1951 by a married couple and are in pristine condition. I have not fished them yet so I was wondering if any one out there had and how they liked them. I know H&I is not the most collectable rod but I bought them to go fishing.
