A complete description or pictures of the labels / logos is needed to date your rod.ontague
Your rod model, Rapidan  was made by Montague , first in the 1920s and continues through the 40s , practically the whole history of the maker.

IF you want to try again, since we are at it :

Check metal for id and patents ? What is it made of; bamboo ( flat sided) fiberglass or graphite ( round)? Weight in oz? What is the diameter  (not circumference) of the rod above the handle? Where was it purchased ? What type of metal nickel-silver, tin, or chrome platted brass? A complete description of any logos or labels. Length of rod per section and number of sections.
