Re: Creel Identity?
Sold one at Midland Game Fair that had a registration mark dated to 1885 was a potbelled style.Did not need any work left as is.Had the history belonged to the same family from new.Look after its a rare item in that condition.

Re: Creel Identity?
Thanks again chaps!
Reedling, nothing to apologize for. I think I just got a bit excited.
Steve, nothing but a good clean and TLC. Possibly some new hinges if I can find/make something suitable.

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Quick wash and a splash of linseed oil and she's ready for another 100 years or more!

Records and details are scarce but the date looks right
