My new Floatmaster arrived today!

After an anxious two weeks waiting for delivery from a non too cooperative ebay seller, I am pleased to say its in fine fettle and has hardly had any use judging by its condition. It was supplied with its original rod bag and brass ferrule stoppers which were stuck fast but following advice from Wal I managed to remove them and put the rod together for a waggle......I really like it!
7533 is inscribed on the butt, is it possible to date the rod from this no.?
Here it is after a clean and a polish:

Looks great, well done!

Lovely looking rod that, well done sir and to Dr Cane for unlimited sound advice

That looks A very fine rod.

Jeremy, That looks in fantastic condition, well done, they are a great chubbing rod
You need to look out for a floatmaster reel now

That looks very nice especially having those ferrule stoppers
