I drank some with a fellow the other night and he handed me a fly rod older than I am. I guess I'm supposed to clean it up and return it from the best of my recollection I can make of the evenings drinks and such.
It's a Shakespeare # 1438 WondOrod Tubular Glass Fly Rod produced from 1956 to 1959. The Process No. 1438 - 7' 9" Model FCL on this particular rod doesn't read FCL it reads FCB? He seems like a nice enough guy so I'll just do the work and return the rod as close to new as I will be able to. Real simple wraps to replace, I've coated blanks before and this could potentially use a skim coat, yeah I guess I'll be replacing all the wraps, the cork looks like it could just use some fill in spots but the labels are all but gone. Anyone have any ideas on replacing labels this old and with the FCB marking? Edit: This would also be the Double banner label with the spelling WondOrod not Wonderod.
