The evolution of the original Hardy Silex with the No 2 pattern, which was first introduced in 1911. This example dates from 1916 / 1917 and is an unusually rare due to its condition and being complete with the maker's original trade card box.
With twin ivorine handles, casting trigger and bridged mounted rim tension adjuster, this example has a fixed check. Photographed with a small selection of Hardy's Pearl Devon Minnows.
