Description from the seller
Hardy 'The Featherweight' Fly Reel – Near Mint Collector's Set with Original Pouch & ManualDescription:
A superb opportunity for vintage fly fishing enthusiasts and collectors alike: an authentic, classic Hardy 'The Featherweight' Fly Reel. Beautifully precision-engineered and handcrafted by Hardy Bros Ltd in Alnwick, England.
The Featherweight is a legendary model, highly praised for its ultra-lightweight design, buttery smooth drag, and that iconic, crisp Hardy click-check sound. This specific example is an absolute time-capsule find, complete with its original documentation.
Condition:
The Reel (Cosmetic & Mechanical): In stunning Near Mint condition. The original dark grey finish is exceptionally clean with almost no signs of use or rim wear, as shown in the detailed photographs. It still carries the original round golden factory sticker stating "Jet Dry Fly DT-4". Mechanically 100% flawless: smooth rotation, perfect drag adjustment, and a loud, sharp clicker. It comes fully spooled with a fly line and backing, including a classic fly attached.
The Manual: Includes the highly collectible, original paper booklet "A Quality Fly Reel by HARDY - The World's Finest Fishing Tackle" in very neat condition.
The Pouch: Comes with the original blue/beige padded Hardy zip-case. The zipper is fully functional. Note for transparency: Just like the other pouch from this collection, the beige vinyl trim features small, faded vintage initials ('AFA') written in ink by a previous owner.
Specifications:
Brand: Hardy Bros Ltd (Alnwick, England)
Model: The Featherweight
Includes: Original zipper pouch & original booklet
Country of Manufacture: Made in England
A highly complete, investment-grade collector's piece that is rarely found with its original manual. Will be shipped worldwide with maximum care, tracked, and fully insured.
