Purchased a Sharpes Scottie Eighty Eight. It has this numbering on the reel seat:
1.12
75
I've looked at the Sharpes Rod numbering page on the internet and still can't decipher what the numbering system means. Anyone care to venture an opinion.

#2If you email them they will answer you. They may have some insight, though the page has most of the info. I have a 7' 5 weight Featherlite that also has numbering a bit different from the system shown on their page.

Re: Questions about Sharpes numbering system
#3From my chart, it looks like you have the 75th rod to be turned out in December 1971.
viewtopic.php?f=67&t=68095&hilit=+Sharpes
It decodes like this:
1 = year number - this relates to the numbering scheme introduced in 1971, replacing the previous scheme introduced in 1963
12 = Month - December
75 Serial number of rods produced in that month.
Hope this helps a bit!!
