They look old and very well made. Great bit of old tackle.

hard to put a date on them,i know the top two are still made like that but they could be over a hundred years old too (i have seen 100+ year old phantom minnows with the exact same ones) .they are pretty cool though. those ones with the snaps are they for lures or line? anyone have any ideas?

I think they were called " box" swivels in some old fishing books.

Thanks Guys
Did you mean they were all called Box Swivels ? Any Idea`s How or what the top pictured one was used ? I tried googling around and found nothing on them Perhaps I was looking under the wrong titles. There where a lot of old boxes of hooks also Haven`t got the names of them with me at the moment Some where British no longer in business some where Rapala. I contacted them and was put in touch with home office, whom were very helpfull. From memory I think they said 1930 but the hooks in the box did not match the description on the box I can post their emailed reply if there is any interest. Cheers Kimo |
