They were made from Monel wire. Great guides but not very hard. Good luck finding one. It's been at least 50 years since they were in production. Might try the buy-sell page as well.

Like a wire spring guide? I've got those but I live in Oz
I see a lot of old rods for sale on FB marketplace with all sort of wire guides You might be able to find one there dirt cheap, and rob the guides off it. Re: Aetna foul proof guides

I have an old wire guide about 1/2 inch, but it's not an Aetna. It is of soldered construction. If you strike out and want to see what it looks like email me your cell number and I'll send a photo. No charge if you want it. Re: Aetna foul proof guides

I also have a couple hundred "foul proof" type guides in sizes from 50 to about 6, but I'm not sure they they are Aetna branded. I would need to see a pic of an Aetna guide. Rog Re: Aetna foul proof guides

I don't know that they are Aetna guides...they look like them and are not chrome...they are dull looking almost like galvanized...I purchased some on @#$%&...have not received them yet... they look chrome plated which is ok...
I'm doing a favor for a friend...I don't think he would care what guide I use...Thank you for all the replies...If the ones I purchased want work I be in touch...Thanks... Re: Aetna foul proof guides

Aetna guides were not plated - they were Monel Wire.
