Looky what I just found...

[strategy9]

Was randomly cleaning around the house when the little one went down for his nap, and i started cleaning out the cluttered drawers of an old hutch that once belonged to my kids great grandfather...

A vintage camper, colonial, and 2 matching barlows; I'm obviously not going to be quitting my job over this find, but real treasure none the less. And great hand me downs to the kids one day with a family history attached.

None of the edges are shot either, aside from rust and petina and normal wear, they're in pretty good shape... Gotta clean em up a bit, but I'm stoked.

Any suggestions on what I should use to clean 'em?

I wouldn't clean them up too much. The patina gives them character!! Nice find for your family.

I'm thinking about giving the camper to by brother-in-law, since it was his grandfather, thr colonial in my sons first tackle box as his first blade for cutting line and such, and holding onto the two Barlows until well down the road when I'll give one to him and the other one to his brother.
