THE DUNKELD COLLECTION: HARDY REELS
by Jess Miller SIGNED
Jess Miller, July 2004
Binding Type: Softcover
Featuring the Dunkeld Collection of 172 rare Hardy Reels, plus the first ever study of Hardy Lures. 2004 Price Guides to more than 240 Reels & Lures. Sewn binding, 180 colour plates; 203x254mm, 96 pages.
The Dunkeld Collection has been fully revised and re-edited, according to the original 1987 large format Hardy Reel Catalogue with knowledge gained during the intervening sixteen year period.
Each reel section is headed by information on a particular Hardy Reel model followed by more detailed information of individual reels explaining their rarity, production dates, construction materials and size ranges. Coupled with colour photography of every reel with many showing their Check mechanisms to assist recognition and dating this is an invaluable source of information into 172 vintage Hardy reels.
This 91 page quality production also contains brand new information on 74 Hardy Lures with colour photographs and information as to their rarity, sales/production dates, size and colour ranges. This is the first serious study of Hardy Lures ever undertaken.
Hardy Lures remain greatly undervalued, yet many are as rare as the rarest reels. Jess Miller's intention is to provide collectors with the necessary identification information and pricing knowledge to be able to collect Hardy Lures with confidence.
Most important for the Hardy tackle owner, tackle collector, auctioneer or valuer are the 2004 Price Guides giving more than 240 bracketed guide prices to every item in the book.
These prices have been carefully collated from auction and tackle sales and Miller has consulted auctioneers, dealers and collectors as back-up to his own input.
"I am pleased to be able to offer an affordable, quality, factual reference work crammed with invaluable information and recording in full colour some of the finest and rarest Hardy Reels and Lures ever seen!" --Jess Miller
