I thought you might be interested in this, taken in 1996.

Well thats a nice type righter.
I have always had a soft spot for them.
I have a few old ones myself.
I first got interested in them when I read Ernest Hemingway books and took a great interest in his writing and life. He had all sorts but often used a Smith Corana, piker type and a silent Royal amongst others.
I have a list of famous righters and what type righter they used ..., Ian Flemmings was very interesting!
I have one very similer to the Bernards... I cant see the make from the photo..

The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!
