I am listing thisvintage \'HARDY BROS\' wooden and brass Star Back fishing reel. It isin excellent working order and great condition.The reel measures 11cm (41/2 inches) in diameter and 4 1/2cm (1 3/4 inches ) wide. The maker\'s name is clearly stamped on the back plate with \'Hardy Bros Ltd Alnwick England. It has an optional check button that when engaged gives a loud clicking sound. It also spins freely with no rubbing. There are no cracks or chips in the wood. It has ebonite knobs that are in great condition with no chips or cracks.

EXTRA INFORMATION

In my rush to list all my items I forgot some important information on this reel. I am no expert, but I have learnt that in the early years the \'Hardy\' staff inscribed their initials on the reels they made. On the back of the brass star back there are the initials of \'RH\'. I have checked the staff listed as employees with \'Hardys\' in a book entitled; \'Fishing Reels - Collecting For All\' Vol 1. page 176 written by English author; Phil Waller. The name of Raymond Humble appears on the list with his initials \'RH\' being registered. From checking various books I have estimated the date of the reel around 1900.

Happy to answer any questions and also prepared to refund thepurchase price if not satisfied.

Bank deposit Preferred ( bank details are available in the finalising payment section), but \'Paypal\' is also accepted.
