Afternoon All, irrespective of desirability, is the a difference in the quality of pre war and post war Populars? Regards Cat

I would be keen to see evidence of post-war Aerial Populars. They aren't mentioned in any of the post-war Anglers' Guides. I know Bob Singleton's book states they were manufactured from 1927 to 1962. I find it hard to believe the Aerial would change so much post-war (C815) but that they would keep making the Aerial Pop unchanged for so long after WWII.

Not knowingly seen or owned any post-war Aerial Populars. I have both 2 @ 3.5in and 3 @ 4in. Brilliant workhorses!

The last Aerials - C342 3.75in and C344 4.5in - appear in the 1966 Catalogue in the Spinning Section.
Whilst in the Bottom Fishing Section at 4.5in the New Match 'Aerial' is announced.
