And a couple more, including the decal on the rod.
The cradle is a Neptuna.
Yep Nep-Tuna Cradle and probably Silaflex rod. I have a couple rods by Anglers Center with same decal. There were some other early California rod blanks that were similar I am sure some west coast guys will chime in !! Randy will know or Swami "Sheridan"

Not sure what that tip is, hard to tell from that picture. Weren't the gold Neptunas towards the end of manufacture? The finish looks like a 2 part epoxy so it wouldn't be a super old one, maybe a silaflex after they were bought by Browning?
Should anyone be interested, I have this cradle, rod, and Penn International 30 reel for sale on my local Craigslist site - (https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/spo/d/rockville-rare-nep-tuna-cradle-rod-penn/6891627504.html). Shipping will be at buyer's expense. I will package everything securely, to ensure it arrives unscathed.
