While sitting at this years Niles Riverfest waiting for visitors to bring in antique fishing tackle this year, a local antique dealer stopped by.
Ric Ladonski and I have set up a historic display of antique fishing tackle at the Niles Riverfest the past 20 years for visitors to enjoy. Each year the dealer waits for Ric and me to set up so he can make his yearly visit. This year was no exception.
Over the years he has come in with some off the wall finds. This years find surprised even me. In his hand was a 1950s flip open cigarette lighter with a leaping fish on the front, but it was the back of the lighter that would really catch my eye.
