Answer
Scott,
When i see mayflower on a flat  6 sided rod , I assume it is Japanese.
Originally sold by the thousands to GIs in a light long box with lures and huge flies from 1946 to the 70s . Mostly considered trinkets by collectors but memorial to GIs , they have little resale or fishing value. I have never seen any written history on them in English except the following. http://www.maxrod.net/article/
There is  a book  on Goggle books, with a little history  and a  limited preview: Bamboo In Japan by Nancy Moore Bess
They are not even made from Tonkin cane like most vintage bamboo fly rods .

Luck,
Mac
