Hardy Combined Fly & Spinning Reel

Hardy Combined Fly & Spinning ReelA 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

This reel also comes with the silk line shown
