TT opinion: A nice example of the early Hardy Sunbeam alloy dry fly reel in 2 3/.4″ diameter. Factory brass line guide for RHW, brass foot, Horseshoe drum latch, and internal spring and pawl check.

A quality Alnwick hand built reel for short rods, cane glass or carbon and fly lines #2/4 plus it makes a great addition to any collectors cabinet.
