Hardy Perfect 3" 1912 check fly reel

Hardy Perfect 3" 1912 check fly reelFor sale here is a very scarce wide drum Hardy Perfect 3" trout reel with 1912 check system. Excellent overall condition with the exception of the mother of all pillar line burns! While still intact, one minor drop and I'm confident it will break off. No other cracks exist. The smooth brass foot is full length but slightly kinked on one end. The spool spindle fit is good. The tensioner works perfectly. The spool screw is missing. A great restoration

Wraps at ferrules are a deep chocolate brown with a red tint

and the nodes are nice and small so careful attention was paid to hand pressing them

and nickel silver rims and pillars

8' 2/2 for a 5-6wt line

Leonard model 50 #6 3pc 2t

The only marks are very small handling/machining marks

The casting ability of the rods and attention to detail that they put into each rod is mind-blowing

Superb varnish job
