J. Peek & Son - Nineteen Doors From Holborn

Once upon a time in Arcadia, most notably in the year 1926, upon a Thursday and only nineteen doors from Holborn, J. Peek & Son published their Illustrated Price List of High Class Fishing Rods & Tackle at Moderate Prices.  Included in the list were such delights as The Solid Watchet, The "Child" Spinner, The "Ferry" Bag and Peeks 'Best Quality British Made Floats'.

Nowadays, in the year 2012, other less exciting things occur nineteen doors from Holborn but you can still find an Illustrated Price List of High Class Fishing Rods & Tackle in the form of my website  where you can buy Vintage Fishing Tackle for the Soul and where I also have a number of the letterpress posters that Martin Clark produced for The White Tent at Port Eliot for sale 'In the Shop Window'.  Meanwhile, for those abroad on the streets you are also reminded that it is a Thursday and so you will find me at my stall in Spitalfields Antiques Market in the district of London E1 only nineteen doors from the snug of The Golden Heart Public House.
