1896 Hardy Brass Perfect

As part of the evolution of the Perfect fly reel, and five years after the model's launch, Hardy Brothers of Alnwick released its 1896 iteration. We will post on the differences from the 1891, 1894 transitional and the 1896 soon, as it is easier to demonstrate the differences with photos.

With the faceplate bearing the bordered enclosed Hardy's logo, Rod In Hand and straight line.
