...I Think So!My last entry was a bit late, as I explained, because I was waiting for something to arrive... I have been wanting one of these for as long as I have known about them. This is a Bronze Medal awarded by the jury of the 1883 International Fisheries Exhibition. Aside from representing an important landmark in the story of fishing tackle, the medal was designed by L C Wyon, one of the leading coin designers and die-cutters of the nineteenth century. The medal was accompanied by a few other objects of interest, and I plan to include them in an article about the London Trade Exhibitions, - just need to do a bit more research!
Hope you like this as much as I do.

...with the News this MonthEach year there are auctions of vintage fishing tackle hosted by two companies. John Mullock has at least one fishing sale each year and Neil Freeman of Angling Auctions has an other, usually slightly later in the year. This year was no exception, with John's sale in September and Neil following on at the beginning of October. WVFFM secured lots in both sales, and I have waited for confirmation of this before posting this Month's News. The items concerned will be featured in my next News post...as soon as they have all arrived!!
