    Vintage "TURTLE" leathered fishing creel. Woven of split bamboo 13" long X 8 3/4" high with side hole .Trimmed in tooled leather. Marked on base strap: "ILHAN NEW", under that "TURTLE TRADE MARK"
    The "Turtle" creel was a unique Korean production which used woven bamboo for the basket, unlike the usual French Weave or Wicker baskets made of willow or rattan. The base of the creel was reinforced with a distinctive cord-wound strut which made the creel very strong. The creel is finished in leather. The creel has a seven inch ruler tooled into the top of the lid. The Turtle creels have a unique and distinctive bulbous shape. This example has a solid weave with no breaks and is in excellent condition. The tooled leather shoulder strap is intact with a broken smaller adjusting strap. This rare and desirable vintage creel would make a one-of-a-kind Christmas gift for a fishing enthusiast or collector.
