Fishing PostCards

[Clausewitz]

Well I was digging through one of the storage rooms a few weeks back and I found a stack of old postcards about Battersea and Lougborough Lake and fishing on these lakes. Thought some forumites might like to see them, so I've scanned a few in and here they are:

This first one has been made into a T-shirt that I have seen around.


1920s:

1950s:

Battersea Fun Fair (I dont have an original of this one so if anyone finds one I'd like to get my hands on one):



As I scan more in, I will post them here, but it might take a while to keep it all updated. I've put all of these up here:

What do you think of these? And does anyone have any other Canadian Fishing type postcards? In this digital age these are going to become a rare commodity, so if you want a high res one to print out let me know and I'll email it to you.

Here's one I found at an antique show a few years ago.



A muskie double-header in Trenton. The card was mailed from Trenton to Richmond on July 30, 1926.


Here's the back of the postcard, something about elephants?

Slushy, definitely an inside joke I'd say

"I am very sorry to say there are no elephants up here ha ha. arrived safely having a wonderful time. Don't let Richmond get too wild while I'm away."

Yeah, but did he/she do any fishing??? lol

Yeah, I like the cartoons too. I'll see if I can dig up some more, there are a lot of old boxes in the Manor store-rooms with old stories and pics.

Slushpuppy, great old images there - thanks.
