Hardy Combined Fly & Spinning Reel
$ 1,350
VFT7182
A fine example of what many consider to be Hardy Brother's first aluminium reel. Only made between (approx) 1894 and 1897 this 4" reel looks as though it only recently left the factory. It spins as freely as any Silex on its "compensating steel pivot bearing" and the optional click check works smoothly. The 3 3/4" brass (or possibly bronze) foot is unmolested. The twin ivorine handles spin freely. Quadruple brass drum pillars, rear sliding optional check button and milled spindle mounted tension adjuster, backplate stamped enclosed oval and straight line logo, raised brass spindle boss with domed steel locking screw. The faceplate is designed to be 'palmed' and the brass or bronze pillars are all unmarked. A remarkable example of a fine collectible reel.
This reel will ship from the UK.

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. 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.
