Default Help identify 2 old split cane rods

I am hoping someone might recognise the maker of these 2 rods.
One is a 9 ft, 3 pc cane with 2 tips & no brand that I can find.
The other is a 12 ft 2 handed cane rod with an oval brand containing the letters L H H in script.
They came to me from an estate.

Hello Roddy,

judging from your pictures the 9' is in a terrible state. My guess is that it's Japanese or Chinese (looking at what is visible of the ferrules). It will probably cost you more to restore the rod than it's worth...
The two hander looks a bit nicer, but again is not top quality. The edges seem to have been sanded away. I am no expert on vintage rods, far from it. I build the odd cane rod myself. You will be better off with the advice of Bbamboo and other UK cane wizards on here.

Best regards,
Johan

Thanks Johan, hopefully someone will recognize the L.H.H oval logo.
Regards, Rod
