Description

Old box of Mustad brand fishing hooks, Limerick model, visible on the front. This is a Norwegian fishing accessory, as indicated by the "Made in Norway" label. The translucent plastic box reveals a batch of dark metallic hooks (blackened steel appearance), stored loosely in the lower compartment. The lid features a clear blue and white sticker with the Mustad logo, the model reference, and various technical details.

The box has a compact design, typical of fishing accessories from past decades, with an integrated hanging hole on top for display. The label indicates: "Qual. 496", "No. 15", "Qty. 50", as well as the mention "Limerick", which corresponds to a hook shape popular for float fishing and traditional fishing. The Mustad brand, visible in large characters, is a recognized historical reference in hook manufacturing.

The plastic of the box shows signs of use and a slight age-related patina, with no apparent structural damage on the visible side. The inscriptions are clear, and the transparency of the case allows for a good view of the contents. No other accessories or documentation are visible in the image.

This packaging, identifiable as "deadstock" (old, unused stock), is particularly sought after for its vintage authenticity and historical interest. Its careful presentation and general condition make it a testament to 20th-century fishing accessories.

The box is marked "O. Mustad & Søn A.S - Gjøvik Nor.", which authenticates its origin and manufacturer. This type of item is frequently searched for under the terms "old hook box", "Mustad vintage hooks" or "retro fishing accessory" on specialized platforms.
