ORVIS/HARDY CFO II FLY REEL, w/SPOOL, ENGLAND

This is the small version of the popular CFO.  Exposed rivets on back side-plate, so made by Hardy.  Great reel for 2wt or 3wt line, or 1wt. The CFO II has two idiosyncrasies—it was made with no check adjustment, and it was made with a single pawl and an extra rivet for the pawl spring.  Comes with a second spool, which has a serviceable line that looks like 2wt to me.  Condition of the finish and mechanism is excellent with no wear on bottom rims.  Previous owner scratched initials on spool catch plates of both spools, as shown (barely visible).  LH/RH
