SH 1064F. From 1979 catalog. 8' Fast Action 3/8-1oz. lure weight .800 butt diameter 5.5 tip size 4 1/8oz. blank weight 2 piece Brown

MSP 721F. From 1985 catalog. 6' Fast Action 1/16-1/4 lure weight. .550 butt diameter 5.5 tip size 1 1/4oz. blank weight 2 piece Ultra Lite power composite blank

SP 845F. Form 1988 catalog. 7' Fast Action. 3/8-3/4 lure weight. .773 butt diameter. 5.5 tip size. 2 1/2oz blank weight. 2 piece Medium power fiberglass blank brown color.

I couldn't locate the SP 845F blank specs in a gold blank in any of my catalogs. This leads me to belive it may have been made between 1967-1975, which are the years that I don't have Fenwick blank catalogs for. Hope this was of some help.
