Another one ticked off the wish list UPDATED
An anglers leather tackle compendium or Roach tackle case has for sometime been on my “must have” radar ever since stumbling across a wonderful illustration in The Trent Otters PRACTICAL FISHING pages. I have seen a couple to be fair but both were in rather poor condition.
Yesterday I finally got my hands on one! Dark green leather with Burgundy Leather interior and a very nice Rosewood float winder with two sliding lids, four compartments and bone spacers - Christmas had definitely come early
Better than I could have hoped for.
I’ve added the floats and a few bits and pieces from my own collection. What I really need now are a couple of really old disgorgers to fill those loops.
The searching continues...

Don't forget the coconut shell - any good garden/bird food centre will have one!
It really is quite lovely!

That's a bit special, never seen one before. Well done on acquiring such a fine item.

That's a bit special, never see a case like that before. You must be really chuffed to have sourced this special Christmas present.
Thanks

Very nice indeed
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Re: Another one ticked off the wish list
That's cracking! You wouldn't need to carry much more if you were float fishing. Very minimalist!
