I was given this old rod from "Maxed Out" that had no markings on it.I cleaned it with a 3M pad and windex.I applied polyurethane to the cork.I assume it was a homemade rod and I have no idea the age.I may put one of my Mitchell 300s on it and see what happens
It looks like the one i got but different color,,, :D but same eyes and reel seat,,,,, :) I looked online jc higgins made by Sears and roebuck,,,maybe is it for 15lb ,,,,,,,,,,, ;D
Possibly made by Roddy ! ::)
A close-up photo of the ferrule, some guides and the reel seat might help. What makes you think it's homemade?

ditto... that's a mighty fuzzy, zoomed-out photo
might have seen a couple w/ that general look
maybe, Montague... maybe, early Japanese thin-wall glass
just that it has no markings or so old they wore off?
like Steve said, " ferrule, some guides and the reel seat" might all be recognizable in clear close-up's
also, threadwork -- those blurs look vaguely 60's Japanese-y to me
Will try to get better pics I was trying to get the entire rod with cell to show maxed out how it cleaned up,thanks for the info.
More photos,,,,, ;) because now it's a scooby-doo! Mystery,,,,,,, ;D
Also, can you see the fiberglass weave through a slightly translucent surface, or is the surface a solid color as though it had been pigmented or painted?
