Sorry, folks, this reel has SOLD!
Here's a real jem of an old fly reel.... the Hardy Perfect. This
reel has a spool that measures 2 7/8" across and is about 2 1/8" deep
at the flanges. The reel is in great condition for its age and has no
cracks or dents that we can see.
On the face of the spool reads "Pat. Nos. 24245 & 9261,
Duplicated Mark II, Made by Hardy Bros. Ltd, Alnwick England", and in
the center it reads "The Perfect" "Fly Reel".
There is some fly line on the reel, I don't beleive it is as old as the reel. Nevertheless it's older line.
The spool does not rub and has very little play in the spindle. The
black (plastic??) handle is a little bit loose and I'm sure it could be
tightened up if you wanted to actually fish with this old timer.
Reel foot is brass and is ribbed on one side. Foot is straight and
not curled up at the ends or been filed off like so many have that I've
seen.
