Old lamiglas rod

Recently I came across a 10' foot beach rod that was tied conventional. All the wraps were varnished (not flex coated), so I'm assuming it was tied many years ago. Upon stripping the rod down, I did find a lamiglas label under an old and brittle cork taped handle, but the model number has long worn off. The original rod color, judging by the color preserved under the cork, is a medium amber, (lighter than a lamiglas Ron Arra) and the fiberglass spirals are clearly visible. The rod is also much stiffer than newer 10 foot lami's I have.

Based on this information, does anyone have any idea what model or year this rod is?

Thanks.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
