Venables Pictures

Post by Phil Arnott »

I picked these up a while back; they are a set of table mats each measuring 26x19cms.

I've not seen them before and neither have the others I have shown them to. I would be interested to hear if anyone else come across them and knows anything about them.

Too good for table mats. They deserve to be framed and placed on a study wall. :Hat:

Yes, precisely my thoughts . It would have to be a pretty important angler coming for tea before I would use them as table mats!

I'd certainly use them once they had a special coating on them so's not to get damaged, i'm sure Mrs Loop would love them

There was a set for sale at the last Redditch Angling Fair but I didn't quite have the pennies left at the end. Been lamenting ever since :Cry:
