Hardy Perfect Fly Reel 3 7/8" 1906 Red Agate

724


A beautiful 1906 check Hardy Perfect 3 7/8" fly reel with a gorgeous red agate. A rare, collector grade model! Appears to be all original and correct. Nice and tight with no wobble. The ivorine handle spins freely. Nice clean winding plate and spool with an even patina. The frame is in excellent condition as well, devoid of scratches, dents, or any other imperfections. Strap over tensioner functions perfectly and has the turks head nut. The red agate is clean and perfect. Mechanically perfect with a smooth, satisfying click. The foot appears to be full length though the outer edges are curved - my suspicion is that this was original as I can see no signs of filing. A really superb example here of a very rare model from this period. I doubt you'll find better.
