Eeeee, I had no idea I had this much stuff buried down there :hs:

Anyway, it's gonna be an assortment of items - plugs, tins, miscellaneous fish shtuff and some historic fishing prints from my old business that's now in cold storage until who knows when.

I've got Iron Mike's digital for another day or so - I'll post as many photos as I can get done today.

I'll get taking photos here as soon as I get another cup of starter fluid down and post descriptions of the items :yawn:

Prefer ya to pick up in Newport, but I can ship to you - whatever it costs is what I'll charge.

Cash works or a local personal check - I don't do PayPal, tho -

Yup, Jim was there and got a couple of pre-clearance items :hihi:

The first few things for sale are some prints from my old biz The Angler's Art which is closed and in cold storage for the foreseeable future.

That and Mrs Crafty wants her living and great rooms back so these are very nicely framed off-the-wall items in excellent (as new) condition.

These prints are the very last in stock - if you want it say I'll take it - Christmas is coming if Mrs Claus wants to get you an early gift. It's first come, first served, can't hold them.

First is the historic Graves Point Fishing Club print from Newport in 1881. The bass club was built by JP Morgan and stood just to the east of Brenton's Point until the '38 Hurricane took it out. The catch was 10 fish, total of 495 lbs taken in a single incoming tide from 6 to 11 AM, August 29th, 1881.

Double matted, image size is 10x10 in a 20x20" 3/4" dark walnut burl frame. This is a great presentation of this print, it was $275 plus tax, now $175 cash, MO or local check.

The double mat is the white areas only, the tan is the BG from the old website.

A couple of Troublemakers -

Black over bronze and Steve's pogie, which was one of the best around when he was in business I thought - he told me he used Dentons for color correctness - very slight production blemish under lip of pogie

As new - never wet (yet)

Black/bronze $40
Pogie $60

Dudes, that's it for tonite, more tomorrow -

I've been up since 4:30 AM - oh man :yawn:

Geez, this is kinda liberating if somewhat painful :bc:

The 12 Step Tackle Program is starting to work, I guess

Hi - I'm Crafty and I have a problem with tackle :hihi:

Last items - I've got a second wind going on after a coffee but it's not gonna last long :sleeps::sleeps::sleeps:

Some SF Denton fish prints framed - these are not repros, they're original chromolithographs from the late 1800's. Yeah, you can find them cheaper on Fleabay without the mat and frame but rarely in this condition.

They're also French matted which really sets them off - an example is below but the marbelized liner is not as broad on the mat as it looks in the illustration - it's just 1/8" around the print.

I collect them, we have them in our living room, dining room and kitchen too -

These are framed in walnut burl, example below - finished size is 12x16"

These are the framed Dentons, the tautog - tittog or blackfish depending on which side of the border you're on :hihi: - and the weakie -

These are as good as they get in terms of condition -

They were $225 plus tax, now $150 each

And that's it for me - 'night now :sleeps:
