Vintage "Z" Hardy St. John 3 (7/8) Fly Reel. Circa 1950. Stamped “Made in England by Hardy Brothers” in straight lettering. Stamp is faded but still visible. 3 screw latch indicates pre-1950 while straight lettering indicates post-1950. I am told "Z" Hardy reels were released in batches of 50 after World War II. Reel has full brass ribbed foot; adjustable drag with spare and nice loud clicker. It still functions like new. I am looking for bids.
