Recent Additions

With that in mind, here are my “recent” additions …which may have been acquired yesterday or several months ago. When it comes to collecting, “recent” has a lot of latitude.

An Early, Celluloid, Fish Brothers Wagon Company Advertising Match Safe

The Reel Has Aluminum Plates And Nickel Silver Hardware. While The Reel Most Resembles The Design Of NY Makers, The Foot Is Held With Screws, Which Is More Typical Of KY Makers

Note The Medal Is Stamped “Sterling Silver”

This Sterling Silver Medal Is 2-5/8″ In Diameter, Which Is Larger Than Many Of The Reels I Collect.
In Scotland A “Provost” Is The Equivalent Of A Mayor In The United States. Provost George Stalker (1850-1924) Was First Elected To Town Council In 1899, And Became President Of The Craigneuk Angling Club In 1902.
Stalker’s Obituary Declared Him “A Skillful Angler”. He Was Also A Noted Conservationist.
Perhaps Provost Stalker Presented This Medal To The Craigneuk Angling Club For Their Noted Efforts To Protect Local Waters.
