Hardy Uniqua Fly Reel 2 5/8" 2-piece Nickel silver up-locking reel seatA nice Hardy Uniqua fly reel in the rare 2 5 8" size and set up for the typical RHW. MKII check. Good overall condition with some loss of finish, some scratches on the spool around the horseshoe latch, and some line grooving on the pillars from use. Mechanically, the reel is excellent, and there is no play whatsoever in the spool. Smooth brass foot and the early horseshoe latch. Internally, the reel is badged for Von Lengerke and Detmold in New York.
