Hi,

This is a great site with a wealth of collective knowlege, but sometimes these older rods are tough. Is there no writing on it at all? What color is used on the wraps? Are there intermediate wraps?

I don't know where you are in the neighbor state, but if you're in the mood for a winter drive up the road to Maine, there is a free event called SuperBoo (since its the weekend after the SuperBowl) where cane fan from all over gather to look at, cast, and talk cane. Fortunately for all of us, Banjo (October Woods) is instrumental, as well as being a fantastic source of info on classic rods.
