    Default Antique FISH Scale!


    Anyone ever seen one of these. It still works excellant. They don't make them like this anymore. Takes up no space in your tackle box. Perfect for panfish and crappie.

    Got one up in the attic somewhere. Haven't seen it in years. Neat picture.

    Got one in my tackle box. Didn't know it was an antique though. Most all my stuff is old though. I have one of the first Garicia 5500s made. Was waiting at the store when they came in.

    Yea, I got one of them. Don't think mine is a antique. Not sure how acurate they would be.

    I've got an old one like that from Zebco when I was a kid. Still have in the tackle box.
    I like yours better than mine, It just looks cooler.

    Does yours have a tape measure on the bottom right hand corner? Just remembered mine does. Pulls out about 23.5 inches

    Best I can tell they were made in early '50s before Zebco bought the patent.

    Still have one of those Zebco models ... somewhere in my "seldom used" collection of fishing equipment. Probably purchased it in the early 1970's .... last used in 1991.

    I found one of the Langley's like you are holding at a flea market a couple of years ago and collecting old fishing stuff I bought it and also have several of the zebco scales in my "fishing room." love that old stuff. also have some Langley reels along with old reels and steel casting rods from back in the day.
