Pegley-Davies Duotone Plastic Bait Boxes

Found today a nest of original Pegley Davies Duotone Plastic Bait Boxes dating from their launch upon the unsuspecting public of Walton-on-Thames in August 1961.  It was in this month that a salesman's van left the Hersham Trading Estate on the very outskirts of Arcadia and touted his wares around the tackle shops of south London and beyond.  The boxes are now lodged in 'Old Friends' at  www.andrewsofarcadia.com
