80 clips with a folding leaf

Spool is housed in the original box

There is a very minor spot of oxidization on the ring near the reel foot though this can easily be polished out

Very impressive attention to detail on this rod

I believe the original agate tip-top guides were replaced by perfection guides circa 1915

Perfect for the catalog collector or any Hardy enthusiast

I find no evidence that a line has ever been on this reel or that it has ever been mounted to a rod
