Well-- Not the Ollivander who sold Harry (and Voldemort) his wand. 
One of this Ollivander's ancestors might have, though. I think the 
first wand was not a *fine* one. After all-- makers of *fine* wands 
since 382 BC.

Druids -- for some reason I think they used long and rough ones... a 
staff that was made of each individual's personal type of Wood. Also 
that each Druid made his magical staff himself, so that there weren't 
any 'makers of fine wands'.

Circe might have had one which she made herself.

Invention of the wand... It's something referred to - much like a 
Muggle might speak of wheel, fire or hammer.
