Hello Everyone
In one of the lots I won at the Netherhampton Sporting Auction on Saturday, I found among all the stuff this little gem, a homemade wooden tackle box with a profile of a game fish also made of wood on the lid, when I opened it up I found some lead moulded devon minnows, some stainless booms and some lures.
I just think it is one of those unique items, which there is only probably one and the history that goes with it. "Priceless"!
An absolute homemade little gem.

What a lovely looking Tackle’s box - The ageing patina is wonderful - I am a tad envious Sir!
