  • Condition: Very Good-Excellent overall vint cond: For sale is this estate fresh & new to the marketplace, very nice, early 20th c American vint fly fishing woven wicker w/leather trim creel tackle basket. It was prev separated from its wide shoulder strap before & the strap's now absent, as is the thin, perforated front leather strap which goes through the lid's metal buckle, which is still present. But the real story w/this particular creel is the cond of the wicker & the nrly unblemished quality of the leather trim, which demonstrates prior use but not abuse. The leather's somewhat dry & not as pliable & supple as it once was but also isn't buckled, scorched or cracked from storage in a hot, dry place, such as an attic. The woven wicker basket's sidewalls are without loss, deformities, pushes or fraying. That's pretty extraordinary in & of itself & indicates the fly fishing creel was once a valued fly fishing accessory by the sportsman who once owned it. Great cond & a great look. Very nice.

    DESCRIPTION:
    For sale is this estate fresh and new to the marketplace, very nice early 20th century American vintage fly fishing woven wicker with leather trim creel tackle basket. It was previously separated from its wide shoulder strap before and the strap's now absent, as is the thin, perforated front leather strap which goes through the lid's metal buckle, which is still present. But the real story with this particular creel is the condition of the wicker and the nearly unblemished quality of the leather trim, which demonstrates prior use but not abuse. The leather's somewhat dry and not as pliable and supple as it once was but also isn't buckled, scorched or cracked from storage in a hot, dry place, such as an attic. The woven wicker basket's sidewalls are without loss, deformities, pushes or fraying. That's pretty extraordinary in and of itself and indicates the fly fishing creel was once a valued fly fishing accessory by the sportsman who once owned it. Great condition and a great look. Very nice.
