Found yesterday in a junk shop along with the other two N.T. timbers. In mint condition, don't think it's ever been near water. Going by the handsigned script, I'd say one of Carl's, so this makes it at least 1992 if not earlier, maybe Carl will see and comment. First one I've come across, heavy bugger, would get to the bottom in a hurry .
Seaweed.

Thanks Laurie, I wasn't sure about the popper, but I'm confident in your judgment when it comes to anything Elliot. Looks like it had a sticker underneath at one stage, nice condition, no teeth marks, but not as pristine as the "Big Eye". Yes, and a very nice deepdiver by Wayne (Balls) Baldwin.
Regards, Seaweed.

Hi Brad
I'd be very interested in a pic of the stickered Big Eye by Carl you mention above. Were the convex eyes, as above, only by Carl, or did he produce the flatter eyes as well? Good to hear you're back in town Seaweed, must catch up for a chat. Cheers Steve |
