Basically NARMCO made the Silaflex and was purchased by Garcia.

I  am a bamboo man not fiberglass. Fiberglass is just not collected like bamboo. It was made from the 1950s to the 70s.
I have no specific history or books on fiberglass, I believe they don't exist, but here's two web sites that on fiberglass:

Please be cautious about someone telling you your rod is worth thousands until they offer cash. . People want fiberglass to be collectable like bamboo but that doesn't make it so.
My guess=$50.
