Does anyone have a J. Bernard & Son Catalog?

Post by RonG »

I'm looking for information on a reel marked "The Improved Corbet Reel." Here's some photos. It's 5 1/2 inches in diameter and weighs about 1 1/2 pounds.

Hi Ron

I can only tell you that Bernard & Son used this address
between 1903-1926.
(The address that is stamped on the reel).

Best regards

Ron-

J.Bernard & Son did publish a catalog in 1909 (as you know) per the company’s ad in the June 19, 1909 “Forest and Stream” magazine, offering an “Illustrated catalogue (1909) post free.”
