Hardy Perfect 2 7/8" Fly Reel 1950s 11'3" Judging by the guide foot

Judging by the guide foot stains on the mid and the ghosting on the tips this rod has been refinished and may have been cut down from a 9 foot

however the spool has some specks in the anodizing (came from the factory like this)

Handsome matte finish

These are desirable fly boxes

Excellent condition with only very minor marks on the edges
