TT opinion: An early Hardy Perfect 3-1/8″ trout fly reel in good working order. Factory white handle, rim tension adjuster and correct alloy foot. Caliper check c 1904, The reel turns well, no drum rock or play, the original drum screw has snapped off but just enough thread left to allow it to stay in the spindle for display. Scarce little reel for any collector
