That is the way Hardys used to style themselves 20+ years ago before deciding to be 'House of....' in an attempt to 'work the brand' to sell a range of 'lifestyle' goods in addition to fishing equipment. All very 80's. It worked a bit, but competition for Louis Vuitton they never were. [Edit]Come to think of it, did they get bought out by LVMH ?[/Edit]
So your reel is likely to be older than most Maquises, but how old I wouldn't know, nor whether this has any significant effect upon value. Back to basics, give Hardys a ring and quote the serial number at them.... they know their own kit best, should have some idea of what its worth.
