Hardy Palakona The De Luxe Rod


Question
Hi Rich,

I have had a rod in my possession that I am hoping to have valued.  It is a Hardy Bros Palakona - The De Luxe Rod serial number E4944 - Pat.No20875/22.

I am finding it quite hard to get information on this rod as the serial number only has 4 numbers? Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Danielle

Answer
Danielle,

You're right about 4 digits- they aren't on the history /  Canadian Hardy page:

You might try contacting Hardy in Alnwick, England. (please send me an e-mail, [email protected], and tell me if this worked or is a dead end)

The Palakona was mostly made in the 70s, according to Homel, listed below.

Books: Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000) add about 30% for age of book. Available at most  libraries.

Homel gives the Hardy 8  model "Palakona Deluxe" trout fly rod(c 1935) with an extra tip, 3 sections; the  value of  $95, 200 and $395 for poor, good, excellent condition respectively.

Luck,
Mac
