Answer
Blaine,
as per Hardys web site

As general information, rods manufactured prior to 1966 should carry individual identification numbers (i.d.) stamped on the reel fitting, or butt cap. Rods manufactured post 1966 will usually carry a simple letter coding inscribed in ink above the cork handle (month/year). As a special note, cane rods manufactured between 1966-1981 may carry either, or both, of these identification numbers.
Let me know if they are correct
Luck,
Mac
