Answer
Mike,
I did not know that Montague Rod and Reel Company made fiberglass rods. It was my belief  they sold out to Dunton, 1955,  at the end of the bamboo era.
Please go to http://www.lu-c-an.com/MontagueLabels.jpg
and tell me which if any label is on your rod .
Is it fly , casting or both ? Fly rods have reels below the handle.
There are a few sites about rod history on the Internet such as Ron Kruse抯: http://www.flyanglersonline.com/features/bamboo/archive.html
Books available in major libraries that might help
Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997
Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook -Michael Sinclair ( good info on old rods , too)
But I have both of the above books and they don't mention your rod.
I doubt if you are going to find much on glass rods, they aren't collected very much.
Classic & Antique Fly Fishing Tackle by A. J. Campbell does mention fiberglass p. 304- 307 . Read it online at: http://books.google.com/books?id=zY8vsd9Q_BUC&pg=PA304&lpg=PA304&dq=Classic+&+An...
