This is a Hardy St. George 3 3/4 Trout Reel.
The engraving reads: HARDY BROS. LTD. ENGLAND
As shown in image 2, a spare spool with a spool case is also included.

This is a masterpiece Hardy reel that needs no introduction.
The 3 3/4 size of the St. George was released in 1911, followed by the 3 and 2 7/8 Junior.

For rod size compatibility, I believe a #8 single-hand rod or a #6 switch rod would be a good balance.
For your reference, I used it with a single-hand rod.

Regarding the condition of the item (images 3-8), there are scuffs and scratches from use on the exterior, but considering its age, it is generally in clean condition as shown in the images.
(Image 6) The agate line guard has no cracks or scratches. The blue-gray agate is very beautiful.
(Images 9, 10) The interior is also clean as shown in the images.
(Images 11, 12) The spare spool is also protected with a gear cover.

The storage condition is as shown in (images 13, 14, 15), stored in a hard case.

The selling point of this item is that there is absolutely no play in the rotation, no abnormal noise, and the precision and handmade feel are transmitted to your hands when you rotate it.
It is likely that it was an extremely accurate finish, a one-in-tens-of-thousands chance.
I believe it is in rare condition for this size currently in existence.

The Hardy St. George, along with the Perfect reel, is a historic masterpiece of fly reels, so I would be grateful if you would consider it if you have the opportunity.
