Vintage Boat Hook

[craigmc67]

Hi I am interested in buying a boat hook but would like one that would fit with my boats age 1952 

has anyone got an old one for sale or knows of a new one that would look original 

I just like to keep everything as original as I can

probably a good idea to keep your eyes open at boat jumbles, at very least you might find a hook that you can fit a new handle to.

Classic-marine.co.uk at Levington marina will sort you out but make sure you're sitting down when you open the page. If you visit I can highly recommend the sausage rolls at the cafe by the marina entrance, also the Ship Inn in the village.

I have an old one. Not sure if it is 1952 though. Bit shabby, needs a bit of tlc. I suspect 1970 or 1980. Found it in the river. I was going to take it up the Tip!

If its any help Craig, Midland Chandlers are part of the same group as ASAP supplies on Ellough. ASAP have previously transfered stock from Midland to Beccles for me to collect at the counter.
