The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

I have had a look through the forum and could not find a topic regarding these most wonderful and nostalgic ephemeral advertisements. I thought If I start with one - the rather strange Bernard-Shaw Bag & Creel - others may follow - over to you all.
Apologies if someone else has already done this on the forum, but my art in referencing is minimal.

Well done mate,hope this takes off

There are a few vintage tackle adverts around the forum but it would be nice to have a dedicated thread for them, a nice idea Pallenpool.

Here is one I put up a couple of years ago, a Sealey Octopus rod advert from 1953.

Here's an old Intrepid reel advert from the 'Fishing Magazine' December 1966.

Angling 'A Country Life' publicaton 1951.

Angling 'A Country Life' publicaton 1951.

A few from an old post. These would be dated somewhere around 1912 I believe.

That's the ticket - they already look superb one lined up after the other - hopefully we will be able to compile a books worth - I find them rather heart warming - & I am sure you chaps (Es') all agree - the way of things as they were and (just maybe) should be now. Please keep them coming. . . . . . . . .

Not sure you would call this an advert as such but the Sowerbutts company is promoting itself. This is an old hook/cast packet opened out flat.
