So I "think" one of these may have come into my possession. Its a 6'3" rod, with a Garrison style cork grip and reel seat. The blank is a lovely dark brown, white spigot ferrule and 9 eyes total, but with no markings whatsoever on the rod. Looks like a Fisher or Hardy blank. It came in an older plastic tube labeled Anglers Mail in Cleveland OH, with the handwritten words "Constable Spectre (sp?) Midge" Feels like a 4/5 in my hands.
Research shows that Anglers Mail would be the outfitter that marketed these rods and the blank would have been made by Hardy. Lots of pics of Sceptres here and most have markings on the rod. Not much talk of the 6'3" Midge other then that a rod fitting that description did appear in an Angers Mail catalogue at one point.
Anyone else have a Sceptre with no markings or a payed around with the 6"3" Midge?
