TT Opinion
Just arrived at TT with a number of other Hardy Perfects, this fine and rare 3 1/8” diameter alloy contracted (narrow drum) Perfect made for around one year with original white handle, brass strapped rim tension regulator, 1896 check, smooth correct brass foot with rod in hand logo and straight line logo stamped to face plate. No drum rock play, a good tight original reel. One for the collector.
