That's fascinating. Not a small operation, so it could have been Montague Rod & Reel Co.? They still offered a complete line of wood rods in their 1939 catalog.

Cool vid.
For you guys with a lot of rod knowledge, Mark, I would think the handle/slip ring combo style and eye type could be a great identifier. In the one pic the eyes almost look early Fuji ceramic-ish, but B&W make it a little tough to tell. White agate maybe?

Yes, the original link was via FB and probably got pulled somehow. Found the original on Youtube and edited the post to embed it.

These are British-made rods, not Montague.
