An amazing 100 + year old Hardy beauty.
1906 check that performs perfectly today, just like the day it was made.
I would estimate 90% of the original leading.
There is NO SPOOL Wobble and the handle is nice and tight and spins freely.
RHW Wide Drum
Slick unfiled and unaltered brass foot measures approximately 2 1/2" connected by four brass screws.
Nickel silver tensioner with a brass strap over.
Pillars are unblem...ished.
Milled brass retaining screw, original to the reel.
I believe this to be an ivory handle due to the appearance (see pictures) No cracks or chips. Spins freely
The winding plate, drum and spool are all number 10.
Four cusp spool.
43247 and the letter L are imprinted on the drum.
The winding plate has the letter W, this makes me believe this reel was hand made by John "Jackie" Waugh who was employed from 1893 - 1916.
To find a reel in this condition, with ALL MATCHING NUMBERS, with no repairs whatsoever, is indeed a RARE FIND!!
Grab this one while you can.
This reel is Hardy's smallest leaded WD made during the early years of Hardy.
