Those with imagination might recognise it as bait dropper.
ln my defence when l made it l was a spotty teenager armed with nothing but enthusiasm , a pair of scissors to cut the copper float in half ,a nail to punch holes and pliers to twiddle the wire.
Despite its cosmetic shortcomings it actually works and after enduring years of darkness it has to be worthy of an outing .


With this in mind l have glued a new bit of cork to the back. I just hope this non-original addition doesn't affect its historical or commercial value.
