Description :

Vintage Hardy Bros "The Perfect 3 7/8" Fly Reel

Made by Hardy Bros LTD in England between 1958 - 1962

Hardy Bros is a renowned English fishing tackle manufacturer, established in 1872. They are particularly famous for their 'Perfect' fly reels, which were first introduced in 1889 and have been in continuous production, with various modifications, ever since. These reels are highly regarded by anglers and collectors alike for their quality, durability, and classic design

Hardy reels, especially the Perfect models, are known for their smooth operation and robust construction, often featuring hand-crafted components. The value of vintage Hardy reels can vary widely based on factors such as age, size, model variations, and condition.

3 7/8" Across 

Appears to be in fair, well used condition cosmetically (see pics)!

I do not believe this is the more rare Taupo model, as it doesn't have an enameled finish nor the guide ring associated with the Taupo

However, a fantastic vintage fly reel, ideal for a collector!
