Hardy St. George 3 3/8" Fly Reel - three screw latch

For sale here is a leaded, three-screw latch, 3 3/8" Hardy St. George fly reel in excellent condition. Straight line lettering from late 1940's / early 1950's reel. MKII check with both pawls engageable. Metal line guide set inside a nickel silver bezel. Unmolested ribbed brass foot. Internals and mechanics are excellent. "TA" initials for Hardy maker Thomas Appleby. Ebonite handle spins freely. The tensioner works as intended.
