Found this photo in some estate fishing books, from the 70'sAppears priest used.
Note very old gaff and old cane fly rod, box of matches to help with size , unfortunately no other details. Somebody who collects match box maybe able to tell us when this particular Red Head was available regards John |

Huge trout. I remember that redhead box from the early 70's when we owned a shop in what is now inner Brisbane. But the girlie has changed a few times since then and can't remember when I noticed the first change. The first girlie was more 50's style hair do and a skinnier face and she made it into the 60's sometime.

Too hard to tell from that picky, whether the matchbox was cardboard or vaneer.
The change was introduced about 1975. The same 'Girlie' was on both. Best guess,- 1975. 6" Tail! She certainly was a 'THUMPER!'
