Here's a nice old Hardy St. George - 3" / ribbed brass foot / honest patina and a 3-3/8" Young that was badged for WILSON & LENFESTY, Victoria B.C. This one had a cracked winding plate and missing winding knob. It took a little TLC to get it back on the water.

Over the years I have collected or been handed down vintage fly fishing items. Have a modest collection of reels and other items that I will post if people are interested. Here is a Hardy St John these early reels where hand made and often had the makers initials stamped inside. Some of these where tagged with the companies name. This one according to the data base was made by James Smith for James Niel and Son's in Nova Scotia.1 point

This thread had been dormant for a long while - any other reel makers want to chime in? 7" rendition of the old Hardy Fortuna deep sea reel. This is an anti-reverse cork drag reel. Hardy actually made these up to 9" diameter.

fly boxes and holders have changed through the years. Here is Grandpas Fly wallet, these leather pouches where incredibly versatile with a big variety parchment of compartments for leader and fly storage. In the middle is a couple of pages of absorbent drying sheets for wet flies. Both outside pages have flapped pockets also.1 point
