4.1/4” Hardy 1912 wide drum the “Perfect” Salmon fly reel in
very fine original condition, large fat ivorine handle , brass strap
over rim mounted regulator with Turk head locking nut, smooth brass foot,
99cm, foot not filed, this superb reel retains nearly all the original
silvery black lead finish , the 1912 salmon is considered the ultimate
classic user collector reel,
information for you , the reel only has the single
number 5, because it is one of the very 1st production models of the 1912
Salmon perfects, Hardy did not put the long numbers on Brass Face and 1906 -
1911 Salmon perfects, and I think the single digit numbers represented the
number of reels a reel maker produced in a day or week ?but seemed to start
in the 1912 Salmon reel shortly after this 1912 check was introduced.
