Antique Trout Fishing Net, Farlow Type
Antique Trout Fishing Net, Farlow Type
Antique Extending Trout Fishing Landing Net.
A good extending trout fishing landing net, very similar to the type and style of landing nets made by Farlow's, but this is unnamed. The net loop is made of ash and simply slides down the square shaped wooden shaft. The net with brass fittings and with the original string net (has repairs to it). The wooden shaft has inch notches made into it as a crude measuring system. The measure is 12" and it starts from the handle, first notch being at 4".
Closed length: 87½ cm, hoop size 39 cm by 44 cm.
Farlow and Hardy stand shoulder to shoulder in the world of fishing tackle manufactures; both are renowned for excellent quality, and they are both highly collectable. Charles Farlow started his game fishing tackle business in 1840. He traded under the name C. Farlow at 221, The Strand, London. In 1852 the local authority changed the address to 191, The Strand. In around 1885 he started to trade under the business name C. Farlow & Co. and operated with that name until it became a limited company in 1894. Upon his death in 1895 two sons Charles Paas and John Ambrose took over and became joint governing directors.
