For sale here is a Hardy Bros. Birmingham Composite (or "Half-Ebonite") fly reel. Made between 1880 and 1896 by either David Slater or Malloch. 5" diameter, which is the largest size made. German silver rings, ebonite backplate, two logos on the front plate including the rod in hand logo. Excellent original unaltered condition with amazing leather case for NZ agent Tisdall. No cracks in the ebonite. Mechanically excellent as well. A very scarce reel, especially in this condition! Simply a dream for the collectors out there.

There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
