Hardy Uniqua Fly Reel 3 1/8"

3529


A very nice and rare early Hardy Uniqua fly reel, 3" in diameter and set up for the typical RHW. This is one of the early pre-1912 Uniquas that has the straight pillars and caliper check (a similar example is pictured in John Drewett's masterful book on Hardy reels). Superb overall condition with the leaded finish nicely intact and no major issues to note. One end of the long brass foot has a very subtle and gradual bend to it, you'd miss it unless you look very carefully. "H" stamped into the base of the brass foot. Horseshoe latch and ivorine handle. "Hardy's Patent 'Uniqua' Reel" is stamped into the spool. No bag. Overall a very fine example of an early Uniqua.

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.
Other Terms
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
