Last night I met my old school friend for an evenings fishing, and as we were unloading our vehicle Martin had a couple of vintage nets he wanted to show me, one small keep net possibly for keeping live bait in, the other was a circular landing net and then he showed a small triangular folding landing net which he promptly handed to me and said "you can have this one". How generous and what a good friend.
![cheers :cheers:](./images/smilies/icon_drinks.gif)
The net stands altogether about 5' with the net itself about16" in length folded up. The handle is made from bamboo with a brass insert. The tether at the front of the net is made from leather. When assembled the front of the spans about 12". There are also notches in the lowèr end of the handle.
Is it earlyish? Any thoughts on make or is it homemade?
Thank you for your time
