A very rare oil pipe Silex multiplier in all round original excellent condition.
The reel is from 1925 and very similar to fig 224 of page 262 on John Drewett's book Hardy Brothers.
As on that pictures both reels suffer from the same fault a hairline next the locking screw near finger lever hard to see because so fine.
These little anomalies happened through over tightening screws.
Very rare collector's piece.
