Very nice floats JM, I like them alot

These are a couple of my favourites, 2 huge Nottingham sliders on a winder with silk line, barrel weights, shot & hooks, also a nice swan/cork float (maybe Homer?)

Wow - they are wonderful, substantial old floats! :Thumb: I wonder what tales that old pair could tell?

Love the 'Nottingham sliders' - they are a pattern lost to ' modern' angling. I have found just one to-date - probably Allcocks - a little battered on one side but displays well enough.i
