very rare 4" Hardy pre production test reel,
the "Triumph" centerpin spinning
reel in fine original condition, but not named the "Triumph"
but having been named the, " Eureka" this
is a extremely rare reel, The Triumph was made for
a very short time only, introduced in the 1923 catalogue, the
production run was 1923-1928 with very few have turn up,
but this reel is different, ( please read
page 260-261 of Hardy Brothers the Masters,
the men and their reels, this is only
the 3rd example known to be named the "Eureka" on the backplate
instead of the "Triumph" , I will describe this reel then give you
an opinion which I think correct, the reel has all the new check system
1923 features but the alloy foot is held
with 2 screws only, and the rim tension system is not any
of the 3 examples on page of J Drewett Hardy book,
page 254, and 255, but is the same tension system
with domed brass slotted knurled edge adjuster with round
brass tension indicator as fitted to the
1913 Silex N0-2 , see page 246 of same book, there seems to be 2
schools of thought among a few eminent collectors , ( 1 ) the
first thought is that it was a new version of the Eureka, perhaps some
one wanted a wide drum Eureka with gadgets at the rim, and Hardy were
trying this out, ? if you turn to page 152
/153 of the Hardy 1923 catalogue where the Triumph was first introduced,
you will see on page 152, the new Triumph, on opposite page 153
the page with the Eureka, reel and spool, the reel picture of the
Eureka is the same as the reel on page 152, ( the Triumph ) this
was obviously a printing error, the picture of the spool is a
correct Eureka spool, but the reel picture is the Triumph, so you can
understand how one might think there had been a few reels made
with this in mind, ? but if you reel the text underneath it says the
width of the spool is 13/16" , the Triumph is much wider ? (2) the
2nd school of thought was that it was a small batch of reels
just overlooked by the production line , ? I do not think Hardy with
there high standard of quality control, especially with the introduction
of this reel as a completely new model, would overlook this kind of
production error, although both arguments are feasible, I believe this
reel and the other 2 reels were Pre production test reels given to
leading fishermen and casters to test and report and problems and
modifications, the same as they do today, and always have, they
used the backplate of the the Eureka, fitted the extra check systems but
used the adjusters from the earlier Silex No-2, before making there
final decision on how to tool up for the new reel, so as I have said,
this is a very rare pre production test or for runner reel prior to the
introduction of the "Triumph " reel in the 1923 catalogue.,
this reel is circa 1921/22 one of only 3 known
