Bamboo fly rod wanted horrocks ibbotson?

I'm trying to track down a bamboo fly rod mfg by horrocks ibbotson. I know they're not the most desirable rods but I have ties to the company. I've tried ebay but a lot of time it's people unloading junk. The condition is important but not the only thing. I'm looking for either the President or Chancellor model from circa 1920-30. These rods had the silver reel seat with the utica emblem engraved in it. Any leads on this would be greatly appreciated.

1. Mine is not to question "why?" but to offer some type of answer. Here is a link to various amounts and qualities of HI products. All are Ebay auctions which you may have already looked at and passed on. These rods may not have a fantastic reputation but they do have history to them. Rods of the 1920-30 circa at times cost anywhere from $1.75-$30. During the "Great Depression" that was a great deal of money to spend on any sportsmans gear. I hope you find one of these antiques in fine shape. http://home.aol.com/efaqooppyt/09/ibbotson.html Good fishin' friend!
