Rev,
I saw this and immediately thought of Lyle Dickerson.
If this rod was a Dickerson, you'd have a treasure

Dickerson made rods that were a fast action and I believe they had half-wells grips
Also, I believe his ferrules were "blued"
He used chocolate brown thread wraps with black tipping
Sorry
Thought you'd like to know anyway
