Hardy Rod Manufacturing Dates

Hardy Coarse Rod Names.
Not sure how comprehensive or accurate this list is but it may help with some of the rarer rods.

Thank you Wal. Is that from Graham Turner's book? Edit: I've found a 44 page pdf that appears to have this info on.

Also, does such a list exist for Allcocks rods, as I was considering knocking one together?

Hi Rod, not sure where it came from, just something I found a few years ago on the internet.

There is a list on this very forum naming Allcocks rods but I dont think the years of manufacture, section numbers and materials used is included so a new list would be a great idea. It will take a lot of doing but I am sure we could all help with catalogue descriptions etc.
I suppose the best place to start would be the rod name and list them alphabetically. Let me know if I can help.

I could photocopy the 8 page list - - could someone then volunteer to put them on the Forum?

Will do Wal hopefully this in this coming week.

Started on the photocopies - coming out quite well - but a bit awkward with such a large book with so many pages! Never mind!

I have the Hardy Rod Pattern Numbers Book which list every rod they made until 1983, it's from the Hardy Archive at Alnwick. Message me if you would like advice :-)

Thanks olly, the photocopies arrived today and I have taken photos of them. Quite a comprehensive list when you see them altogether like this.

Thanks Wal - hope you can see them all now everybody!

I stopped at 1962 as most rods thereafter were glass - - - - or even that black stuff!
