Can anyone help me find out about an Anon Shaw rod?

My son was given a rod and we are trying to find out a bit more about it. It is a cane rod with the name Anon Shaw on the handle section. Having searched the internet all I can come up with is that Anon Shaw were fishing tackle makers, but appear to have gone out of business. The rod is slightly unusual as it is effectively two rods in one. There is a handle section, a short and sturdy section with tip that slots into it making a rod of around 7ft overall length, plus a further two sections, one of which is a tip which when assembled make up a three section rod of about 12ft overall length. This longer configuration looks similar to a waggler rod. My initial guesses are that this is a coarse fishing set up with the longer configuration for spinning and the shorter stiffer one for pike or similar.

Anyone got any clues as to whether I'm right ? Be nice to know probable age too.
