Ok, I was searching our shed the other day and found a solid Blue(kinda dark) pole, It has 14 ft and "C" etched in the top, it also has an s.t etched in it too. I was wondering if anyone knew what this is, I think it could be an old skypole or altius but am not sure. Anyone know anything?

It's an Altius training pole. Pretty rare for the northeast, but I think Don Hood once did camps in Rochester, and it may be a camp pole that was left behind.
14' long, "C" is a degree of stiffness, A being the softest, DD being the stiffest. I've flexed a 14' C we have at Texas State and it was comparable to other brand 14' 175's or 180's.
