The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Hi, new member here, just seen this forum about cataogues.

My Dads boss, well known for Salmon Fishing and at Farlow's shop in Bruton Steet gave me the 1960 Farlows catalogue after my dad told him I did a bit of fishing. Probably about 1962. I still have it, complete with a schoolboy scribble "swimming" on the cover. In real ink, not ball point! Probably done with my Parker fountain pen and ink from the school inkwell.

I also have what I believe to be - only from the pictures and prices - a pre or just post war Ogden Smiths price list and catalogue in rather poor condition.

Ogden Smiths catalogues seem to be a bit scarce, if any members need to research anything, PM me for a loan.

Old Man River - struggling to get my PM to go to you.

Not yet up to speed with how this forum works.

Going sailing for ten days or so, dont worry is you dont hear from me untill I get back.

No probs..

Enjoy your sailing adventure!
