I'm looking for some assistance with identifying a Hart model. I've been told the information in the Hart book by Geschwinder is incorrect, and I need some clarification. Is there a member that can help?
Thanks in advance,
Jim
Are there any Ari 't Hart collectors here?

Jim, probably your best source would be to post on the ary T Hart board on FaceBook and see what you come up with. They obviously know everything there is to know and I guess the only issue would be if they disagreed about the incorrect nature of the published material! My guess is they will-eagerly share either way!

Thanks John - it was on that FB page that I was told the book information was incorrect. However, some of the information provided as a reply to my inquiry is inconsistent, which makes me question the replies I received.

I have the F2 Rio Orbigio and F3 Lake Taupo reels, and the streamside fly tying kit, but I’m really not a knowledgeable collector. There are so many variations and one-offs of ATH reels. It reminds me of the Redington ATH reels, and the “grease” well is similar to the “grease watches” ATH sold in the ‘80’s that held fly floatant. Cool reel, as they all are.
