Need some vintage Gudebrod thread

[1badf350]

Hello all, I need some Size A Gudebrod 5274 NCP Chestnut color thread. I need enough to wrap 6 guides on a 130lb class roller rod.
My email is Creed@LPC.com

got a pic? I may have it or really close.

This is the color. It says size D but I need size A

[thorhammer]

I checked this morning; I have about enough to wrap one foot of an Aftco left. Sorry.

[1badf350]

Ok thanks for checking.

NP. is this a restoration or a new color scheme? I had it to repair some Fenwick's. Love that classic brown look. If you have end up having to "get close enough", Prowrap,  and I think Voodoo, have some pantone charts  that may get you close enough for gov't work.

Yep its for an old brown fenwick. Somebody changed the guide wraps to some God awful lime green. Im trying to put it back to original.

I might have a spool, but my friend Pauline has all of my supplies (wrapper, threads, guides,...)

Lets give Pauline a shout, shall we?

I have a mostly full 950 yard spool of Gudebrod 5274 A,  but it is the regular stuff, not NCP.

  Check out the following thread on rodbuilding.org about Fenwick wraps, NCP vs. regular, and color consistency of 5274:

If you can't find the NCP stuff, and want to try the regular thread,    PM me with shipping address.

Well ain't that something? Sounds like a total rewrap is just about the only to get a close match. No wonder a bunch of the 5274 examples on eBay look like sightly different shades. According to Vic it's because they were more than a little different.

You have to have the same lot number to make a perfect color match. It's all dyed at the same time.

Wow thats some good info! Thanks

Here is a photo of size A and D  spools of the official Fenwick color 5274 Gudebrod thread bought at the same time.  Yes they are slightly different shades.  Also in the photo is a guide replacement wrap over white with CP added, an an original decorative wrapping from a 70s vintage spinner.    Trying to exactly match a wrap, especially for a single guide replacement seems pretty tough to me.

The only way is to purchase thread with the same lot number.
