Tackle Turkey 0 Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I have just purchased a Hardy Bros The L.R.H. lightweight Brit.Pat. No 658472 and what does LRH mean please and how old and is it worth much? Thankyou. Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan 0 Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 TT The LRH is part of the Hardy Lightweight range and was the brainchild of Lawrence Robert Hardy, son of Hardy founder William Hardy. The LRH is 3 3/16” dia. and weighs 3 7/8oz. The Lightweight range was patented in 1951 so your reel is ffrom that date onwards as they still make them. I don't think the reels carry a serial number - the rods do and you can check them against the Hardy data base to find the date of manufacture and sometimes who they were made for. Value - new ones are about £120 and Hardy reels do have a good resale value. Hope this helps Duncan Link to post Share on other sites
