Here's A Nice Job Lot - SOLD!

This month I came across a huge job lot of vintage tackle on Facebook.

Well, where to start? There's a wicker basket, a cantilever box containing loads of end tackle, a keep net and three umbrellas, one of which is cotton with a wooden shaft. There are two rod holdalls, a really old one which may be EFGEECO and a newer Keenets holdall.

Three of the reels came in zip-up cases and included a Mitchell 300, Mordex Merlin, Shakespeare, Silstar and a multiplier reel on a solid fibre glass boat rod. The other rods were a Black Seal, a split cane rod, two fibre glass Shakespeare rods, a two-piece solid fibre glass sea rod and a bamboo rod.

Four of the rods came in canvas bags, including one of the Shakespeare rods in its original bag. Oh, and a load of bank sticks! Now I just need to give everything a good clean and decide what I'm going to keep.
