Dyna flex also sold some similar in color I still have a couple older ones from back then. Stock ones were marked with a white back ground behind the spec numbers.Fenwick didn't put the logo on blems an their blems were mostly due to stains in the resin. they mostly destroyed those out of true.Hope this helps.

I remember Spags back then. Lots of oldtimers from down here would make the pilgrimage up to Shrewsbury to buy early glass blanks and reels from the terrific fishing department located right at the entrance. What a store that was back in the day before the expansions and the sale.
Anyway, I'm going to have this blank wrapped. Dropping it of at B-brothers today. Hard decision is spinning or conventional... but I'm going spinning because I have a couple of nice 9' conventionals. I like the blank because it's got some backbone to it. I think it's worth wrapping and it's in good shape. Thanks.
