TT opinion:

Another fine Hardy Silex Major in the rare large 4.5″ diameter with twin black handles 95mm straight brass foot, white side casting trigger and perforated face plate. Half moon tension dial with Hardy details to rear plate. Small chip out of spool as seen in the photos. A cracking reel that can be used to fish, all in excellent working order and ready to fish, or one to collect!
