Back plate of Hardy New Brunswick reel.

Hardy’s 1935 and 1938 catalogue supplements description states:

• “THE “NEW BRUNSWICK” REEL”
• A SINGLE ACTION DIRECT DRIVE REEL”

“This reel is similar in appearance to the “Cascapedia” Reel page 220, but single actioned with the one revolving pillar to fish rings up.”

Production book shows that only one 3/0 and one 4/0 had been made.
