Unfortunately the in-house knowledge on the history of the fishing tackle is quite limited so I have put out calls of 'help' to people who can enlighten me on some of the historical facts regarding the tackle we supplied. Hopefully this knowledge will be forthcoming and in the future I will be able to post a more informative article on the collection we have acquired.
In the meantime, as I depart to the East coast of USA to attend the Southern side by side competition and Bray's Island Exposition, I would ask that anyone with relevant information on the Westley Richards fishing department to please let me know.

Hi Simon,
Beautiful collection.
I’ve sent details of most of the reels to Trig, and asked for some more details of a couple.
Keep up the good work
