I did my apprenticeship with a place that repaired just about everything for the home, TV, mowers, fridges, appliances, the lot, they had in their window, one of the first Victa mowers, and I mean the first, not just an old mower, the first TV that hit the shops in 1956 (still operating, because I repaired in for display) the first Philips video recorder, not VHS or Beta, but Philips own format, and a kerosene fridge, and a round "roto fridge" that was a round fridge, great stuff.

frankS Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I was down in one of my back sheds looking for something totally unrelated and came across these. I forgot I had them. A set of brass outrigger bases, very heavy duty and with bayonet type mount. Frank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Can't say that I have seen those ones before, I have a set of Ravia ones here somewhere, and a pair of Ravia rod holders, very strongly built out of cast brass or stainless, I think Ravia was made in Rockdale?

frankS Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I do still have one of the wooden 12foot outriggers that go with these bases. Have not got a clue what happened to the other one. Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Geez, that's a awesome collection and every time I want to post I feel like I'm taking a Knife to a Gun fight 😀 So many to comment on but no time. Below ..... Top one as Wazza said is a Wonder Wobler. Now the Wonder Wobbler is going on holidays next week and I doubt it will come back but I will try and get a couple of photos of different fish it catches before its lost, it will go down fighting. Next is a Bourke Little Big Dig, another soft rubber the that was good on Bass, Bottom, I can't remember, maybe a Heddon Hell Raiser ? but I'm sure someone will let us know. Though this one may have been a copy. Edited July 12, 2019 by Blackfish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazatherfisherman Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Variety of old threadlines- the gold one right side back is a Daiwa GS 1 one of the first "external spool" reels on the Aust market- only a couple of years prior to it's release, spinning/threadline reels had the spool inside the housing, which left the possibility of line going down between the gap and tangling around the spool. I think the preceding Daiwa "Silver Series" was about the first external spool- got a couple of unused ones in boxes here somewhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
