to find the weight of your rod place it on a bathroom scale.[sly][angelic][

sorry,
you are asking an almost imposible question. if it is not marked on the rod then you will have your work set out for you.
you will need to find out who made it, then the modle, and if it is an older modle you will probably have to rely on an oldtimer's memory or hope that there are pictures of older modles sitting around on the net.
Your next best bet is it to check out collectors sites on the net. I my self would try this avenue first if you can not find the maker.
there is no real test that I am aware of that would give you a valid answer. reason is because of materials used to produce rods vary so much in addition to ageing of the materialsl, as they get older they weeken conciderably if not properly cared for.
If you need a lead to a couple collector sites let me know, I will see if I can dig you up a few....
