Description

This is a superb opportunity to own a high-quality reproduction of a rare piece of fishing history. Carefully recreated from an original in our collection, this 173-page Hardy Brothers catalogue has been authentically reproduced to the highest standards, using a four-colour print process and traditional thread-sewn binding.

Every detail has been considered to match the original—paper weight, ink tones, finish, and scale—resulting in a beautiful and historically accurate edition. Fully illustrated throughout, it showcases the elegance, innovation, and craftsmanship of Hardy’s early tackle offerings.

Designed to be both visually striking and accessible, this edition is ideal for Hardy collectors, vintage tackle enthusiasts, or anyone with an appreciation for classic angling heritage.

Historical note: The Military Equipment Stores & Tortoise Tent Company Ltd once served as the sole agents for Hardy Brothers, operating from 49 Pall Mall, London S.W., before the company was eventually absorbed into Hardy’s own operations.
