as I had learned from Tom Maxwell

1 inches in length

There is a faint scratch across the spacer

Crisp and delightful DF action

The drag is adequately strong as is but adjusting the lever on the backplate does not result in a stronger drag

Right hand retrieve but can be switched to left

Varnish is near perfect

Large u-shaped hook keeper

For sale here is a Hardy Brunswick Cascapedia 1/0 Ltd

ivorine handle

so it's in near mint restored condition (there are still some very minor marks on the wooden reel seat spacer)
