First, thanks to everyone who helped me in trying to determine what kind =
of rod this is.  I believe it can be narrowed down pretty much to being =
an Edwards Quadrate that someone did a really terrible restoration on.  =
The rod casts really well and has lots of reserve power that you start =
to feel with 40 or so feet of line in the air. =20
    In any case, I have already stripped the megacoats of varnish off =
the rod and here are the dimensions on the unvarnished blank.  Has a =
pretty dramatic swell in the 5 inches just forward of the grip.  Graph =
it out and the stress curve looks a little funky, but the rod does work =
well.  a bit heavy, but works nice.

Later,
Bob
