9'6" is the length

Answer
Blaine,
as per  Hardys web site
http://www.hardyandgreyscanada.com/hardy/roddating.php
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
