#102Two Hardy Uniquas. The smallest of the contracted 25/8" maker TA (Thomas Appleby at Hardys between 1920-1947.And the smallest of the Hardy Uniqua Salmon 31/2" made by Hardy reel maker T.A.G (Thomes ArmstronG at Hardys between 1928 to 1979) The 25/8" can be datet to around 1946, the 31/2" Uniqua Salmon to the mid 1930th. Both boxes are slightly older than the reels. Enjoy!

#110Two (hard and heavy) Duralumin 1930's Uniquas, 4" & 2 7/8", both stamped J.S
Interesting to note on both reels, the recessed letters, knurling and concentric rings contain blacklead. I like to think of Jimmy dipping his finger and applying it as he finished off the reels.

#114That's good stuff right there... the best! Thanks guys.
GMan's CFO collection is also quite cool. Ice cold. Stop selling those reels.

heck all of 'em - these fly reels bring us all such joy - don't they ?

#118The disc drag was too much for this 5000 series reel.
These worked out so much better for the company.

#120The 5000 series were made, by Lamson, for the salt.
They are beautifully made but never really caught on.
