Although I don't know the model, it is most likely a 6 or 7 weight, typical of 8 ft 'glass of the time. You can fuss with ideal match for the guide/wrap, but that will be of cosmetic value only. One of the vendors found here or in an OL search for rod-building suppliers will be able to supply materials that will be virtually unnoticeable as cosmetically different, and ideal functionally. I have an idea those were wrapped with size D thread, but not sure. Check with leads you find here and/or--very familiar with rods of the era with a lot of OEM stuff in stock--Rick's Rods in Colorado, easily found with an OL search. As you can see from the post above, folks will be glad to help, and you may locate several sources, which could include a local tackle shop in your area that has repair materials or can refer you to someone local who does repair work.
