А това е оригинален "S.Allcock"

Сега нещо истинско.."Чем Чорт не шутит"... а като проверих кога е произведена S Allcock & Co Ltd “AERIAL POPULAR” 1928 Model No.8902.- застанах мирно!
Това е оригинален "S.Allcock".. Точно толкова е важен ,колкото винаги да имаме "Едно на ум" за това ,че преди нас е имало ХОРА в България, които са били наясно с нещата в мухарството.Изработката е невероятно стабилна.Няма никакви луфтове!!!

The firm of S. Allcock & Co. based in Redditch , England was founded by Polycarp Allcock around 1800 and in its beginning primarily produced hooks. Polycarp's son Samuel joined the firm at a young age and was trained as a float maker.In 1860 under Samuel's direction of the company, Allcock's added rods to the burgeoning tackle business and moved to a larger location in Redditch with the purchase of another hook making company.
In 1873 the company started to make their own reels after hiring Mr. Hughes, a Birmingham brass worker along with two youths. In 1874 J.W. Young joined the firm and immediately showed great promise in the area of reel making. Mr. Young produced many fine reels and added several innovations before leaving the firm to start his own business.Allcocks continued to make tackle until the 1970's. Their last reel was a re-release of the Match Aerial.

"Vintage reels are another good place for the angling enthusiast new to collecting. The firm of Alcock are well known for their well designed and reliable centre pin aerials. A 1960s 4.5 inch Match Aerial in its original box would normally retail for about $400. A general rule is the earlier the better. An Alcock Aerial Popular 4 inch reel from the late 20s would generally sell for $500 - $600 in very good plus condition. Reels are often produced in limited editions so this can add to their value as well." /Парите,естествено, не са най-важното../
Пак ще кажа,че случайността, до колкото я има, е велико нещо!Между другото, ръкохватките не са "напукани" от времето.Ефекта на "напукване" е по технология.. така са излезли от фабриката!/някъде го прочетох!/Впечатлявящо е с какво отношение са произвеждани тези пракрасни концептуални макари за да са актуални и функцианални до днес.
Дали това хармонизира с дребнавата заядливост и мижитурест български манталитет?! Ще пропусна пределно ясният отговор..Не си струва.
Страшно респектиращо е да Я държа в ръцете си! И някак, как да кажа, отговорно.
Все пак е истинска част от мухарската история на страна ни.
Чест и почитание за тези, които са прозряли и са се докоснали до истината!

This 4.5ins Allcock Rollerback centrepin reel is in immaculate condition despite being around 105 years old, a factor which helped it fetch an astounding £8,000 at the latest Angling Auctions’ sale of fishing tackle and memorabilia in London.
“Although this particular model is exceptionally rare and keenly sought-after by collectors, even I was astounded at the price it finally sold for at auction,” said Angling Auctions boss Neil Freeman, whose next auction will be taking place on March 27.Източник: www.angling-auctions.co.uk
