A superb Hardy Perfect 1912 check fly reel, 3 3/4" diameter, and set up for RHW. The 1912 check is one of the most beloved, and this is a superb example in this size. Excellent overall condition given its age, with some normal patina loss in places, though nothing dramatic. No cracks, chips, defects, or other issues that I could find. The smooth, full-length brass foot has a slight wave to it on each end, but it is slight indeed. Internal matching parts stamps. Nickel silver rotating line guard. There is no play to the spool whatsoever. The 1912 check has a beautiful, loud click to it, and the drag works flawlessly, as does the tension adjuster. The Ivorine handle spins freely. The spindle screw has a little bit of chewing to the head, but nothing egregious. The reel comes in a handsome, Farlow leather block case. A very fine example of this rare and desirable reel.
