1912 Hardy 4" Perfect WD Salmon or Steelhead Reel
This Hardy is over 100 years old and it is still in remarkable condition. This reel can catch many more fish or it can be added to your collection.
It arrives with the best fishing MOJO there is!
Early 1912 check that is nice and tight, drag is tremendous!
The leading has a nice patina.
Stamped on the winding plate are the initials "HMR No.2" (see picture)
The back plate has No 2... stamped as well (see picture)
This in no way affects the reels performance.
There is NO SPOOL Wobble and the FAT ivorene handle is nice and tight and spins freely. No crqacks, scratches or blemishes on reel.
RHW Wide Drum
Mounted on the reel now is a foot made by Bill Archeletta (valued at $200?) so that the reel could be fished on modern Salmon or Spey rods. I have the original brass slick, unfiled and unaltered foot. The original foot will come with the reel.
Original Nickel silver tensioner with a brass strap over. Turk's head locking nut. (nice feature)
Pillars have normal wear, but no line grooves.
Rims have normal wear as well, no cracks or splits.
Milled Nickel silver retaining screw, original to the reel.
All in all this is a super nice reel to own.
I have a NICE Hardy D Block Salmon case that can be purchased separately. Contact for pictures if you are interested.
Please ask any questions before bidding.
