Re: Got a new reel lately?
#1603Hi, my first forum post. I am writing from Italy and I hope you will forgive me the mistakes, I use google translate ... I show you a handcrafted reel produced in Italy in the 90s. A Fiorini reel. The characteristics are as follows: the novelty that characterise this reel, is the reel made of magnetic metal. The body and the spool are made of anti-corodal anodised, the shaft the inside accessories and the screw are made of stainless steel. the spool is at magnetic blocking and very fast to extract, when the clutch is inserted and it goes in traction, it is impossible to extract it. The shaft that rotates on the body is an integral part of the clutch, which works directly on itself trough a buffer.

The sticker was a strange choice.
Arrived today from London - maybe even from the Queen

#1614Well Andy, it looks like the steampunk craze has made its way to the world of reels…

#1618I just saw a Wagner reel for the first time. Guy was hanging it off his own rod too.
Nothing on this planet could tear my eyes away from it. Sublime.

#1620I just bought this little gem on Ebay. A Hardy Sunbeam fly reel in the smallest size 23/4" with telephone latch and in war-time painted finish. Its from the second half of the 1940th. I guess, but from before 1949 when the Hardy Sunbeams got a centerscrew as spool-locker.
I actually didn´t buy this reel, for the reels sake but for the Hardy reel maker stamps inside, RR Robert Richardson reel maker at Hardys between 1938 and 1950. I didn`t have this Hardy reel maker presented min my "stabel" so...( there are around 40 known Hardy reel makers) When I got the reel I was very pleased, it was much better live than on the pictures, almost mint in the condition so that was great too. Hardy Sunbeams with a reel makers stamping are not often seen and I haven´t seen many Hardy Sunbeams with the telephone latch eighter, so I think I did a great buy!
