I was aware of the 1948 Orvis/Montague collaboration. The other Orvis/Montague rods I've seen, similar to the one Dust mentioned, were all Manitou style rods. I haven't seen any other specimens pop up that appear to be other models. A collaboration between Orvis and Montague on this rod could resolve most of the issues I have with it. I don't like to jump to conclusions though. I'd sure love to see an advertisement for this particular model that... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (TheMontyMan) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/143899 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:43:22 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: I'm so confused ... ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/143895/t/I-39-m-so-confused-.html#reply-143895 Dustnstuff wrote:

I said above -
I have not seen that winding check on a Monty before (if it is tenite),
I dug through all of my Manitou advertisements, and made a discovery. I found an early 1930's advertisement for a Manitou that described it as having a "hard rubber winding check above grip" - go figure!!!

So, we're one step closer to this originally... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (TheMontyMan) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/143740 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:24:32 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: I'm so confused ... ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/143736/t/I-39-m-so-confused-.html#reply-143736
Thanks for the extra pics. Makes all the difference.

This rod has the exact signature windings of a Montague Manitou model - alternating colors (usually pongee and purple) in a 7-5-3 wrap pattern. I don't think this could be a coincidence. I have not seen an originally wrapped Monty with a gap in the silk at the hook keeper (yet), so I believe the rod may have been refinished, or at least parts of it have been re-wrapped. I have 2 theories -

Interesting rod... Can you post a picture of the entire rod, with the sections side-by-side, and one of the signature windings, if there are any??
