I measured ferrules this morning using a decent quality digital micrometer with this rod in mind:para_adams wrote: ↑01/04/21 17:16Here's another 6-1/2' Deluxe, no serial number, in what looks to be the twin of jhuskey's rod. This one was made for Leon E. Wiley of Manchester VT. I have a request in to Orvis to see if they can locate this rod in their "book", I'll let you know if I hear back from them. Like jhuskey, I'm a little uncertain of ferrule size...my best guess is 10.5 (?). And I have one question...is the tube an Orvis tube? I know the sock is the standard plaid sock.
Orvis 11/64-ferrule Superfine = 0.1705-inch = 11/64-inch
Orvis 10/64-ferrule Flea = 0.1545-inch = 10/64-inch
Leonard 10/64-ferrule (as a check) = 0.1555-inch = 10/64-inch
I think the Deluxe rods posted by JHuskey and you are the 1952-only 10/64 model.
Deluxe #13012 (10/64-ferrules, 6/18/52) has the same Cal-Air Champion tube:
