Default Hardy Favourite

Hi All

I picked up a nice little Hardy Favourite FT 7 1/2foot rod at an antiques fair today, i didn't pay much for it but there is no indication of a line rating.
I weas wondering if anyone on here has the same model and can let me know what I need.
At a guess I'd say it's probably a 3wt.

Thanks in advance.

nice wee stick there, the Favorite was my very first proper fly rod, i had the 8ft 4/5 so i think yours will have two numbers as well.. Other then that i will be just guessing so i'm of no use figuring out the line weight..
