Need a little help from you guys. I have a 9 weight blank manufactured back in 2006. I think it was made for/by Batson Enterprises, but I am not sure. It appears to be a high quality, well made blank. Measured weight is 2.00 oz, butt diameter is 0.410", and tip is 4.5. This is the picture of it with the "label".
[www.rodbuilding.org] Can anyone of you guys who were building rods in 2006 identify this mystery blank? Or, at least, make an educated guess? Re: Mystery blank ID?

Does not look like a Batson label. Hope someone can help you. Re: Mystery blank ID?

Agree, not Batson.
I’d read labeling as 30% 24 ton and 70% 30 ton. 30 ton is IM6 and the 24 is standard modulus. Characters look Chinese or Japanese. Could be way wrong but best I can do. Russ in Hollywood, FL. Re: Mystery blank ID?

Thank you guys for your input. The reason I thought it could be Batson is because I saw those kinds of labels before on Batson blanks. Maybe they were factory seconds so they didn't get the official Batson label. I can try to get in touch with them, but since this is an old blank and most likely not a first quality blank they may not be super quick to respond. Re: Mystery blank ID?
