We never had anything like that over here as far as I know. I only ever
used a plastic handline growing up.....it wasn't back in '39 however :)
Quite a beautiful piece of equipment however. Deserves to be mounted on
a wall.

Nev,
I still have two of those. One is still brand new, never used. I got
that one in a bunch of stuff that was given to me several years ago.
That was also my first fishing thing. I caught my first trout on it.
You could cast it out then hook the like on a bell that was on a
length of spring wire with a bell on it. The wire had a hook bend in
it to slip the line in. When the fish took the bait, the bell would
ring. I think I was about 10 years old then. I think they cost a whole
nickel at that time, that would of been 1939.

I have been fascinated by fish and their environs since a small child.
I begged my parents to get me some fishing tackle and eventually, I
received a hand line for sea fishing comprising of a lead weight and 3
hooks separated on wire booms. The line was wound around an H shaped
handle and one stripped line onto the ground and then whirled the
weighted hooks around and let go towards the sea. My father didn't
fish, but I believe that I have a deep instinct that makes me want to
fish.
I don't think that you can make someone into a fly fisher person
unless that person either has that deep instinct or interest and is
not aware of it. I know people that take up fly fishing and are very
gung ho, only to lose interest and to move on to something else.
