I remember reading somewhere of a guy building blanks in downtown Boston,it was a family venture, and were suppose to be fantastic custom rods.It will come to me were I saw it. It was an Italian name if I'm correct.Will look into it.

It was either Destefano or Stefano. The brother had a shop on School St (before or after that, on Washington St) and his sister also made custom rods from Harnell blanks. Her shop was on Merrimac St in Boston. She re-wrapped one of my rods, in 1955, which I still use.
