age of shakespear wonder rod

I am looking for a forum that I can go to to determine the approx age of a fiberglass spin rod that was given to me. It is a 2 pc Shakespear Wonder Rod, UL spin with a Tennesse grip. Wraps are green and match the color of the ferrules and the sliding rings on the grips. The rod looks to have been used once or twice. I have original rod tube and caps. Tube is blue cardboard caps are red rubber. Please advise if you know of a forum that I can post some pics and get an age on this. The postage stamps on the tube used to ship this rod total $0.28. Very cool rod thanks Buzz

If those are first class rate stamps, they are from the mid 1980's. The rod however, is from an earlier time, about the middle to late 1960's.
