I am into the old tools rather than the 'disposable' ones. My friend,
the butcher, had old knives, hand- operated salami cutters, saws and so
forth on the wall of his butcher shop. Lovely stuff.
Shame for this sort of stuff to get lost, damaged or tossed in the corner.

Reuven,
That is a good idea, I may just mount the new one I have in a shadow
box and hang it on my wall.

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.
