I have a red one just like it. It, too, was my Dads. It is on the way with my Dad's Wright McGill fiberglass rod. For a good number of years I forgot that I had them both. When my Dad had died about 1980s my brothers and I gave it to my father-in-law. Shortly before my x-father-in-law died he gave it back to me. That was about 10 years after I was divorced from his daughter. For a good number of years after that they were sitting in the back of the closet when I was packing up to move. They looked familiar but I could not remember where I got them from. It took several days for it to come back to me. Then lots of memories started coming back about fishing with my Dad when I was a young kid. Also about camping trips with my x wife's parents.
On my first fly fishing adventure I used the glass rod and automatic reel our guide wanted to play with it for a while he had not seen one in a number of years.
