This is my first post, been reading up to this point. Just found out I may have a wonderwand. Been researching the the rod label, having difficulty determining what exactly it is. It says"wonderwand" and "howald," but no #1295. It is 7'3" and it is yellow.
Can anyone tell me what line size it is, what it's worth, where can I get another one?

It originally came in a mahogany box and was a presentation rod, and was called the Wonder-Wand in the catalog, but I’ve never seen one marked “Wonderwand” on the rod itself. Let’s see some pictures. Introduced in ‘53.
The rod is 7’3” and was designed for a HEH or HDH (4 or 5 weight), but I like it with a #4.
The 1295 and serial number should be stamped on the reel seat butt cap.
Good luck finding another! They are extremely scarce and were $150 back in ‘53, that’s $1400 in today’s dollars. They have extremely fine tips and I doubt many survived. Look at my old posts about these from a decade ago.
Oh, and by the way...welcome to the Fiberglass Flyrodders!

Make sure both pieces are the same length and that it’s not a 7’9” shortened by 1 guide. 7’9” is a very common Shakespeare size and ones with a repaired ( & thus short ) tip are sometimes described as 7’3” on eBay.

As stated by The Purist, the 1295 was in a mahogany presentation case. The one I once owned, weighed in at 2.4 ounces and had a 3/64th tip top size. All cork with an aluminum slide band and a yellow blank. The date code was 1953. Machined aluminum ferrules. I only seen one other than the one I had, so they are rare. The 1295 I had, the wraps were dried and not serviceable. I rewrapped the rod with all the original guides. The rod was rated as a DT5, but a 4 or 5 worked well.

A busy man I would guess, we'll see.
