Hardy Uniqua 3 1/8" fly reel - early 9 Weight Reversible nickel silver line guideFor sale here is a very scarce and early Hardy Uniqua model 3 1 8" diameter with the early flat caliper spring check. Marked Hardy's Patent "Uniqua" Reel. Ivory handle. Mechanically the reel is still in good condition with a RHW fixed check and some end play like most Uniqua style reels. The original smooth brass foot is unblemished. No cracks, chips, dings, or line grooves. A very nice and rare old Uniqua!
