ORCA Talbot Book ...

Post by Teal »

I'm happy to report that a lot of progress has been made on the ORCA Talbot Book ... for those wondering it will be a lot like the book Don Champion and myself put together on Julius vom Hofe.

I have a couple requests.

1) Anyone with any interest in Talbot and their reels, drop me a note. I can use photos of rare and interesting Talbots, and especially any ephemera, catalogs, letterhead, etc. I don't already have access to. Please note that like the JVH book (and my B.F. Meek in Louisville book), this is not a detailed history of Talbot, but rather a source book and beginning point for more research.

2) Could really use help if anyone is interested in lending a hand. Just drop me a note.

I'd like to put this to bed soon.

Hope this will be the beginning of more research and interest in Talbot reels!

Cheers,

Todd

I"ve got this catalog. I think it's a 1910 one.

I've also got this A&F catalog supplement thay lists the No. 60 reel. It's the only place I've seen this model listed. It also shows the special finishes available for Talbot reels. I'm still looking for the one with the gold screws, click and pearl handle knob.

Are there any Talbot models that you don't have photos of?

Mark, Do you have an unknown model of Talbot that should be included? Was I too quick to answer your question or do you know of a reel in someone else's collection that should be included?

I just know a guy with a pretty comprehensive collection. So, if there's any model that you're aware of but don't have photos of, I could contact him for those.
