Tip sections for Walton Powell glass rods

I recently acquired a significant collection of Powell inventory. If you have one of Walt Powell’s Conolon (stainless steel spigot ferrule) or Phillipson blank glass rods I have spare tips for you. All lengths. These are complete built out by Powell tips. Turn that 1 tip rod into a 2 tip rod. Tips are $50 plus shipping. PM or email is in my signature block below.

We sold Phillipson fiberglass fly rods at Sports Unlimited on Arden Way in 1970ish.

I saw lots of those old fiberglass Powell fly rods with the metal male part of their spigot ferrule system.

Who made those blanks?
