AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description This listing is for an antique Tortue brand fishing line spool, "Supercontrol" model, as shown in the photo. The spool is cylindrical with a hexagonal opening in the center, typical of fishing accessories from the mid to late 20th century. The line is made of nylon, as clearly indicated around the edge of the spool. The green and black embossed inscriptions on a white background specify the brand "RACINE TORTUE", the model "SUPERCONTROL", and technical information such as 100m (110 yards), 30 (likely diameter or strength), 4.550 Kgs (strength), as well as other references (10 lbs, 44 N).

The spool's design features a stylized turquoise turtle, the signature of the French brand Tortue, renowned for its robust and reliable fishing accessories. The visible side shows an even patina, with signs of wear on the green inscriptions, particularly around the turtle design and the center. The remaining line inside the spool is partially visible and dark in color.

The spool rests on an elegant oval stand, covered with satin green fabric and adorned with embossed gold patterns on the edges. This stand is not original but highlights the object in the photo. No other accessories are visible.

The typography, logo, and overall presentation evoke a retro style, typical of the 1970s to 1980s for European fishing accessories. The item stands out for its vintage aesthetic and the renown of the Tortue brand among fishermen.

The legible inscriptions on the front are: RACINE TORTUE NYLON 10 lbs 4.550 Kgs 44 N 100 m 30 110 yds "SUPERCONTROL"
