For sale here is an extremely scarce contracted model Hardy Brass Face Perfect fly reel with early check and open ball race! Made in 1899-1900. 3 1/8" diameter. All three logos on the winding plate.

Two rows of perforations around spool, outer row wider than inner row.Cosmetically and functionally the reel is in original and stellar condition.

Very few genuine examples of this model ever come to market, particularly in this most desirable size.Don't miss out on acquiring this reel -- I will venture to say that any collector would search for a lifetime without locating a similar reel. And this one is in top-notch original condition!If you've known a similar reel to exist, we would love to hear about it.
