    Default Spinners from the past


    I found these spinners in an antique fly wallet on ebay some years ago and put them aside and forgot about them. Found them recently and thought I'd share them. Looking at them you can tell they were built to last, check out the swivels on these and the date on the Hornung blade. Name:  IMG_4019.jpg

    You’re right about the swivels Jim, I can’t remember ever seeing any built like that, and I pay attention to the old gear when I get around it. It would ruin the patina but shined up I’m sure they’d still get it done. The one hook on one of the trebles looks bent out, ya gotta wonder if it was fish or log. Braided Dacron line was still around when those were being used. G would’ve liked those.
