It looks like a composite rod, which makes it a modern rod. My guess is it's an American Tackle as already pointed out, or an Advanced Tubular Composites rod. Either way a quality rod with ATC being a higher end rod compared to AT. Considering the components alone, you got a steal! The only question is, how does it fish?

On a last note, if it's a composite rod, you've likely underrated the line class.
