Like a kid with a new toy
I was really excited to receive my new purchase from the postman Friday, and I have hardly left it alone.
It is a Hardy's "The J.T.E General Anglers Box" in near mint condition and complete with original floats, winders & tackles, the items were wrapped with the original wax paper packaging which I removed for the photo's, this was designed for Hardy's by Mr JT Emery how was a respected match angler
The 1st photo is the advert from my 1935 Hardy's Super Bottom fishing tackle catalogue, these were discontinued by the 1939 catalogue.
The black japanned tin 6 1/2" x 3 3/4" x 1 1/2" is near mint mirror finish
The floats and winders in there compartment, a tiny chip to the white interior
The leger tackle on winders with various tackle items, shot, caps, weights, plummet etc
A close up of the original floats on the metal JTE carriers, some spare floats & ledger tackle on JTE carriers
All the misc tackle, original hardy ledger bars, spare carriers, spare rubbers for the carriers, shot, quill caps etc

Nice box
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish
