Help identifying my guides

I have some guides I have had for years and don't remember what they are, or who I got them from, hopefully someone here can help? They are a single foot spinning guide, with ( I think) a ceramic insert. They have a "number" of BSVHG08 thru 30. I know the 08 thru 30 is the size, but need to know what they are. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Murf

Old style Fujis, built for light to medium spinning or casting rods.

Not 100% sure, near as i can tell you seem to have a set of :" B"- black stainless- SV- (frame model) "H"- Hardloy?? maybe older fuji guides? I am sure i will be corrected. Hope this helps.

That sounds about right. Does anyone know if they would they hold up with braided line?

Fred,

If they are older fuji guides I wuld say a big no to the use of braided line. The technology today is so much better and the hardness of the old Fuji's will not hold up IMO.

Thanks for all the help! A friend needed a few guides and wanted to make sure they were compatible with braided line, so now I'll be able to give him a few.
