Vintage Hardy Bros. Ltd Fly Fishing Reel MARQUIS #8/9 & Extra Spool Leather Case

Description

This is a VERY NICE Vintage Hardy Bros. Ltd. ENGLAND Fly Fishing Reel:  The MARQUIS #8/9 and Includes an EXTRA SPOOL with the double sided leather case!  The mechanics work perfectly and the appearance is nice with only a light scratch/spec or so on the reel foot, rim edge and center spool release:  definitely nothing of concern.
The extra spool is in extra fine shape showing hardly any sign of use.  Both the reel and the extra spool are loaded with what looks to be like quality fly line.  I am not a fly fisherman, so I can't really tell you what type of fly line is on the reel, but the label attached to the spool says Cortland 444 ST9S SHOOTER.  The double zippered leather case is nice with each side showing a little bit of white paper left over from a sticker label.  See photos for description (white reflective lines, bright spots or specks in the photos are due to the camera flash).  I will start the bidding at 5 with No Reserve and “Free Shipping”.
NOTE:  You might consider checking my other fishing auctions as I do combine multiple winnings.
