If it
is round, it's an early glass rod and worth next to nothing.

FWIW, some of the early "name" glass rods are collectable and actually
do have some monetary value (obviously, based on condition). Shocked
the **** outta me, but some glass rods are becoming as valuable as the
lesser-priced bamboos. Heck, the last (paper) catalog I saw from Len
Codella actually had a "Fiberglass" section, IIRC.

Yup, I knew that, but I made the statement based on the condition the
rod seemed to be in. I have a newer old Heddon glass rod (with metallic film
under the multi-colored wraps), the thing is so absolutely ghastly that it's
almost cool, kinda like some American cars of the same era.
