I've just seen this net on a well-known auction site and recall my uncle having a similar one, which was made by Farlows

Apparently there is no name on it, can anyone identify it from the photos?
Does anyone think this a Farlow's net?

I don't think so, Farlows marked most of their tackle even the tackle that was bought in.I have had a Quick look through my catalogues and cannot see anything like that.
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Thanks Harry,
I wondered because, although I am certain that my uncle's net had "Farlows' of Pall Mall, London" engraved on the spreader part of the folding Brass frame, I've not seen another one like it until this one.
I think I actually have his net somewhere, I remember the original netting was very soft, although knotted of course, I must look it out.
