Beautiful vintage wicker and leather fishing creel in fantastic shape! This great old creel was purchased from a gentleman who remembered first seeing it when he was about ten years old . That was the first time he’d gone trout fishing with his grandfather and in all the years since, it had been the only creel he’d ever seen the old man carry. If only this creel could talk, it could tell us about all those magical mornings spent along the legendary trout streams of central Pennsylvania. Streams like the LeTort and Penn’s Creek, before the arrival of trucking terminals and toll roads. Well known waters like the Yellow Breeches and secret gems like Big Spring or Mountain Creek. I envy the folks who had the chance to fish those fabled streams back in those long gone days of glory.
The owner of this creel clearly took very good care of it. The leather is supple with minor scuffs and wear from use and the wicker is strong and tight enough to spend at least a couple more decades carrying supper home from the stream. I have tried to take a lot of pictures to show the great condition and beauty of this creel, but If you have questions or want additional pictures, I can take others and email them to you. Here are the dimensions: 14" long, 5 1/2" wide and 9" high. I do not see any name or markings, but this is obviously a quality creel. Oh, I chose not to clean the few remaining scales left by some lovely trout who once had served as dinner. |
