Wow. Great finds. Don't go to flea markets around here. You tend to catch fleas instead of bargains.

Great Stuff Jim I remember it all, maybe I shouldn't have said that.

the little spoons are pflueger pippins.the aluminum fly box is made in japan,when they were still rebuilding and produced more simple things.it is a great little fly box has some old flies in it.i like the little metal clips that hold the flies.i also picked up 3 wonderods over the summer.gonna bring em out to tooty.

HEY JIM REALLY LIKE THE LITTLE SPOONS YA POSTED !!!!!!!!! BRING DOWN A HUNDRED OR SO WHEN YA COME THIS WAY OK !!!!!!!!!!!

SOME OLD HEDDON GLASS

SHAKESPEARE 6' TELESCOPING RODS, JUST FOUND EM THE OTHER DAY WHEN  I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE..

Tooty with all them rods over there I'm surprised you can fined anything at least I wouldn't be able to.

HERE'S A PAIR OF OLD L&S PLUNKERS I RECENTLY GOT . THE TOP ONE WITH THE GLITTER SIDES IS CALLED "WHITE FLASH" COLOR AND THE BOTTOM ORANGE ONE IS CALLED GOLD FISH .... BOTH ARE NEAR MINT AND WOULD ACTUALLY CALL THE TOP ONE MINT IN BOX..

Very nice Tooty

HERE'S SOME VINTAGE STUFF PICKED UP FROM JIMMY COSGROVE , WHEN HE CAME HERE LAST FEW WEEKS AGO.

THE REEL IS A OLDER 308 MITCHELL ULTRA LIGHT, VVVVVVERY CLOSE TO MINT , AND THE ROD IS A 5' SHAKESPEARE WONDEROD WITH CERAMIC GUIDES . MODEL 1800 . SPOSE THIS ONE MADE IN LATE 70'S AND IS ACTUALLY THE NEWEST Wonderod in my collection. Very light weight ... will use it soon with a Vintage Dam Quick Reel model 110 . No not the new 110 N but the old vintage 110. Can't wait to see them when they start arriving.

  Most folk never heard of Alcedo Micron's , made in Italy, or the Old Quick's made in Gernany. They were both considered the best in their years for mmmmmany years and were both built like tanks inside and out ......

THIS REEL IS A VINTAGE DAM QUICK ,MADE IN GERMANY BOUT LATE 50'S MAYBE. IT'S A MODEL 110 AND THE 110 N models came in the late 60's I believe, and think I still have one more of these coming and will do a pic on em both together. For their size they were heavy compared to modern stuff , TOUGH AS NAILS HOWEVER AND THIS ONE FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY AFTER 50+ YEARS OF USE....

I had a Dam Quick once but I think the reel was enclosed I can't quit remember, one of them senior moments.

Ya I"ve seen those Dick and looked rrrrrrrreally heavy duty for sure......

Over the years it's been a hobby, and passion , of mine to collect some pretty nice stuff when it comes to vintage tackle.. Christmas came this morning in TROY GROVE...
A PAIR OF QUICK 110 REELS , VERY NICE CONDITION 100% MECHANICALLY WORKING

 THE TOP ROD IS A 5' ONE PIECE "EMERALD GREEN" TRANSLUCENT SOMEWHAT , ULTRA LIGHT.
  MIDDLE ROD A MODEL 1800 "BACK COUNTRY SPECIAL" 5'10" MADE IN THE 70'S , CLOSE TO MINT AND WOULD BE IF NOT FOR SOMEONE CLEANING IT AND RUBBING SOME OF THE NUMBERS OFF , STILL VERY NICE THOUGH
 AND LASTLY A "HIPPIE" THERES WERE COLLAPSIBLE RODS THAT WENT DOWN TO 24" AND YA COULD CARRY EM IN YOUR BACK POCKET. THIS ONE NEAR MINT ALSO ..

WRONG AGAIN. TOP ONE IS THE BACK COUNTRY AND MIDDLE IS THE EMERALD GREEN..

Ol' Burke .I have a bunch of of the 'Life Likes' (insects, Nymhs, and Larvae) Haven't used them much ,but Summers the time .Anyone here have success using these? Scroll down thru this 1972 Burke Catalog and enjoy visiting your childhood again!  http://www.antiquefishinglures.com/burke.htm

GOT THIS OLD WRIGHT & MC GILL , and thought maybe someone would like to see pics of it ......... made in late 50's or early 60's I think... Very nice shape and appears to be only used a few times , if that.

FORGOT IT'S a 8 1/2 footer and probably a 5 weight , at least that's what if feels like to me........

not a wonderod?just kidding tooty.nice find.vintage gear hunting has been a little slow for me.

Especially for Tooty ,an old Herters catalog my brother just got :

Keith, this I've had for years it's a model sixty side spin Johnson.

HERE'S a couple old Shakespeare Marhoff reels . Mr . Marhoff worked for Bill Shakespeare and invented the level wind mechanism still used on bait casters today.....

The old Marhoff on the left is mint in the box in my estimation anyway . The plastic boxes these came in are the rarest of all cause the eventually broke from being dropped etc. The old card board boxes on the right were the norm ...

Real fine looking Reels Tooty!

THANKS JOHN .....

I've heard Tooty talk about Wonder Rods so when I came across this one I snapped it up. Maybe the guru will see this and tell me about.

Wonder Rod

tooty can tell you everything about this rod .he gave me some papers that explain all the letters and numbers.line weights types even when it was made.these were cutting edge tech in their day.ugly stiks are still made the same way

HEY KIETH THAT ROD WAS MADE IN FEB. 1970

I got it for 23 bucks. Is that a good price? It has one eye that is bent but not broken and a few scratches. The cork is perfect and looks like it never had a reel mounted on it.

Some more old rods folks ......HOPE YA LIKE EM!
