Lot 615: Vintage Three-Tray Cantilever Plastic Fishing Tackle Box with Sea Angler Branding
A vintage three-tier cantilever fishing tackle box, primarily constructed from moulded plastic. The item features a red lid, cream-coloured internal trays with multiple compartments of varying sizes, and a grey base. When opened, the internal trays expand outwards via a cantilever hinge system to provide access to the lower compartment. The lid bears a heavily worn and partially peeled yellow adhesive label featuring the logo for Sea Angler magazine and the partial text The [illegible] sea angling magazine, identifying this as a promotional item associated with the publication. The overall design, colour scheme, and construction are highly characteristic of multi-tray systems produced by Plano during the late 20th century.
Condition report:
The item shows signs of significant age and heavy use. The front central locking latch is missing or broken, preventing the lid from being secured. The Sea Angler promotional decal on the lid is severely worn, with significant loss, peeling, and fading. Surface scuffs, scratches, and ingrained dirt are present across all plastic components, particularly on the internal trays. The cantilever mechanism remains functional but exhibits some stiffness and age-related wear to the pivot points.
