ORIGINAL PERIOD ITEMS

 

ERE IS A FANTASTIC AND EXTREMELY RARE ANTIQUE MID 1800'S FISHING WALLET TO HOLD HOOKS & LINE.   

 

HE PIECE HAS MANY OF THE ORIGINAL PARCHMENT ENVELOPES WITH THE ORIGINAL HOOKS IN THEM.

THERE ARE ALSO PARCHMENT PAPERS & FABRIC TO HOLD THE HOOKS.

SOME OF THE PARCHMENT & FABRIC IS DETACHED FROM THE ACTUAL LEATHER WALLET BUT THE CONDITION OF THE PIECE OVERALL IS GREAT.  YOU SOMETIMES FIND THESE BUT THEY ARE IN HORRIBLE CONDITION. THIS ONE, ALTHOUGH SOME AREAS OF CONDITION IS OVERALL COMPLETE, STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL COMPONENTS AND EVEN HAS SOME EMBOSSED DESIGN ON THE OUTSIDE.

THE WALLET MEASURES 6 1/4 INCHES LONG, 3 7/8 INCHES WIDE, AND AROUND 1 3/4 INCHES THICK

 

For its age it is in remarkable condition.

Very rare being a complete kit.

Being 1846 per documents found with this set.

Look at the condition of the envelope with hooks.

Now how neat is this pouch.
