Considering the auction is over...

The few Phillipson spigot ferrule rods/blanks I've seen were 'Fisher like' with solid glass spigots and brown sanded glass. I can't say I've seen an unsanded Phillipson rod blank. A few companies built their glass rods on Phillipson blanks with their components (Orvis, Leonard, T&T), but not LL Bean. LL Bean bought Phillipson made rods built with Phillipson components.

Keep in mind, LL Bean was known for their good taste in fine fly rods over the years. That rod is likely to be a good piece of work. But I don't know who made it.

Thanks. I used to have a 4 piece LL bean that was my best guess to be Fisher. The unsanded Ebay rod just did not seem to fit the Phillipson vibe even though advertised as such.

As mentioned it had nice work like a lot of LL Bean rods.
