Mystery Rod ? ?

Hello,
I am hoping for some expert advice about this rod. Got it in an antique shop in Maine. It was in a tube with a handwritten note on masking tape -- "L. L. Bean". Rod is 6 feet and feels to me to cast best with a 4 weight line.

Any and all help will be much appreciated..

Thanks,

Pictures would certainly be helpful.

Please use the search function (upper right of the frame) right here to do a little more homework to describe or illustrate the rod. Pics would be ideal, but chances are you can find one similar in the many discussions of LL Bean rods, usually manufactured and labeled for them by another company. I'll guess this was a Phillipson rod, but with the info given, there are many possibilities. It could be something else completely, since a hand-written note isn't definitive, and any rod can be but in any tube of the right length.

Please, FFR members want to and can help, but much more descriptive details and/or pics are needed.

there are too many rods it could be - we're going nowhere without photos

Fortunately, this site’s photo software is pretty easy.
