A few years back I refurbished a vintage Fenwick Lunkerstik to include a new handle that I found on the Bay. It’s the middle rod in this photo.



Now I have a vintage Silaflex baitcaster blank that I would like to build.



Problem is I can’t find a handle for it. I’ve searched everywhere I know on the interweb, but to no avail.

Any suggestions where to locate a proper handle would be appreciated.

I think that's going to be tough. I would just save a search for vintage casting rod handles on Ebay and watch it faithfully. If you have a caliper, or know someone who has one, and measure the ferrule, I can see if it matches up with any rods I have, you might be able to use another makers handle. Another option would be to get another Silaflex rod with the same ferrule, but a different action, and just switch handles to whatever rod you want to fish.
