I got a set of Parsons on your recommendation Keith, ended up selling them (on here I think) to a guy who added them to a huge collection (which annoyed me a bit, I'd have preferred if he had used them) They weren't really for me.
Years ago I had a badger pod and monkey climbers from Bennets of Sheffield, I recall cutting out the order form from the magazine and ticking what to order! I think you sent a cheque.

My Parson's did me proud on Spring Pool Vince, a friend who's a manager at Angling direct has my set now.
I remember having a Badger Rolling table, and it had "Made in England" stamped into it.

Vintage and rare Tackle collectors are a strange bunch, all sense of cost seems to go out of the window if they want something

That's a terrific call Keith, I still have my Powerplus Professional bivvy which has got to be about 30 years old, doesn't need fabsil either as it has an inner rubber liner.....bit embarrassed to still have hold of it, cant have used it from new more than a dozen times, a bit of an antique
