Hardy Uniqua Fly Reel 1910 Model 9'3" Rare opal finishA scarce Hardy Uniqua fly reel, 3 1 8" diameter, set up for the traditional right hand wind. This is a circa 1910 model with a unique check mechanism that Hardy used for a brief period with the Uniqua. The reel also boasts several interesting features, including the semi circular stamping on the spool only, while the backplate sports two concentric targets around the spindle cover (and no writing). I can't recall seeing this combination on this model
