Here y'are, Steve.
I haven't read all the posts, but hope - and suspect - that you'll find your answer there.
All best,
Mike

steve

AllRounder is your man - for a confirmation.

thanks pallenpool

They are listed in the Hardy bottom fishing catalogues from 1932 although the wall chart in the Hardy museum at Alnwick shows 1934 as the first year of manufacture so all a bit confusing. It’s safe to say 1928 is too early. I have a G10184 which is 1933. PaulF on this forum is the numbers man I’ll mention it to him for you.

hope that this might help:
