Learn Here About Fisherman Scene Reels ​ ​

A few years ago, I started asking questions on the O.R.C.A. Online website about the source of Fisherman Scene reels  and ultimately received a fabulous e-mail from Mr. Andrew Race, Managing Director of the current Heaton company that you can read by clicking on the button below.
Mr. Race not only confirmed the source as being Heaton but he also included a fascinating copy of a 19th century Heaton catalog that shows the fisherman scene reels made by the Reuben Heaton  company.

In his e-mail, only the cover page of this old Heaton catalog is in color. Sometime later after we exchanged some reels, he graciously sent me a full color copy of the pages, that I cherish.
