Xylonite handles, long shot?

Post by Paul F »

A bit of a long shot really?

Does anybody have an old pair of Allcocks Aerial xylonite handles to suit a 4" aerial, you wish to sell?

My handles have split in half, chipped, and pretty much had it!

I'd pay a good price for a suitable pair.

Our resident master refurbisher, Evert Van der plas, makes his own handles from acrylic pen blanks from the bay. I wish I could do the same as I have several reels requiring them, but alas I have no lathe.

Evert has made a few things for me in the past - excellent workmanship! You can always send the reel over.
