I await the series with interest Kevin!
I've got a cane rod, picked up from ebay a couple of years ago, that i would like to restore. I think that it is firmly in your preferred category. No makers name, but looks good quality. 11 footer, built cane throughout, no set, and tehwhippings and rings look original.
Problems include loose whippings, rusty rings and a split ferrule. With these issues sorted, and perhaps a nice coat of varnish, it would be a very pretty and usuable rod (noit that i would want to trot with it all day or anything..)
I have seen sets of rings, whipping material etc for sale, but have never seen replacement ferrules.
I can feel a close season project coming on!
