"pick any of the top old makers and you won't go far wrong"
Which makers would you recommend?
Thanks
Bob
Just a few names from my collection.
Nash
Elwell
Knapman
Morris
Tuppeny - very rare forged at Blackboys in Sussex
Parkes
Brades
Fussells - went out of business in 1897 :wow1:
Whitehouse
SN Swift
Gilpin
Riley
Were even made by my Great Grandfather in his forge at Shedfield Hants.
Wonderful steel from an era when they new how to make tools. You will not find a finer hook then Morris hooks.
Cheers.
Jack.
