Answer
Hi John,
Can I ask you to provide a bit more information? Is there a model name written on the rod...perhaps some sort of Deluxe model? How long is it?
How many sections?
I found a reference to the patent, but it seems to cover several models in the Hardy lineup.
Yes, I believe the second number is a serial number.
Thanks, Joe
