Now then ladies & gents. Anyone out there help me out with a bit of an itch that needs scratching?
2 years ago I bought a pressed alloy?? centre pin for 50p. A deft flick has it spinning for all of 10 seconds. (Unless my numbers come up the only Ariel I'll own picks up BBC.)
Anyway I thought it may be fun, has a line guard & all that.
Intriguingly it says something about a patent with the number 020975 stamped on the side.
I phoned the gent who writes for Waterlog & CF who put me in contact with a Eton Sun collector. He checked & said he had never heard of an Eton Sun metal pin before as they are known for their wood pins.
This has only made me more thoughtful. Anyone able to enlighten me with any information?
Thanks.
