Victorian Hardwood and Bone Fishing Float Winder

A fine example of a late 19th-century fishing float winder, fashioned from polished hardwood with bone rollers and pegs. This practical yet elegant piece was used by Victorian anglers to store and transport delicate fishing floats securely, preventing damage to the quills and paintwork. The craftsmanship is evident in the neatly turned bone ends and the smooth patina developed through years of handling. Containing a selection of period floats, it makes both a functional piece of angling history and a handsome collector’s item.
