orange thread
#1I have a Heddon 7 1/2 ft 3/4 ferrel Black Beauty which is a Featherweight. I have noticed an orange thread in my windings. I have noticed black windings on other Heddon rods. Does anyone know when this rod was made? Thank you.

#2This is an older Black Beauty. The early ones had Orange tipping on the black wraps. Later models just had black wraps. I’ll look it up in the Sinclair book later and post again.

#3I just checked the Sinclair Heddon book. Assuming your rod has orange tipping on all the wraps, it was made between 1931 - 1948. If it just had orange in the butt wraps, it was made between 1949 - 1952.
