Percy Tackle Co. info

Post by Jcrouse »

Hi All,

This is a bit off topic from reels, so if this isn't allowed, administrators please let me know where best to post. I'm looking to see if anyone has any catalogs or sales literature from the Percy Tackle Co. of Portland ME. I'm looking to buy catalogs and sales literature, or if you had anything and would be willing to photocopy instead of sell, I'd be interested in that as well. Any information you might have on this company would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, and please let me know if this is too off topic, or you might have a suggestion of another message board I could try.

Sincerely,
Justin

There is nothing in the ORCA library regarding Percy Tackle Co. If you find anything, please share it with me.

I've only seen two, one from the early Thirties and one from the Forties. Percy sold, in addition to flies, Rangeley spinners and trolling rigs. The staff was largely composed of women tying flies. They sold no other tackle, such as rods or reels. The catalogs are uncommon, the early one being rare.
Try asking at Joe's Old Lures.
