Paddles
(Vintage - Used)
Most of these paddles
are the original high quality German or British made wooden paddles
produced during the 1950's - 70's. Some of the paddles are renowned
for being lightweight, even lighter than some modern day paddles currently
being produced.
These paddles are 'used' - condition vary from immaculate to 'needing some work'. Detailed photos available on request. We have used a simple grading system to indicate the condition of the paddles:-
4 - Excellent, as new condition
3 - Good, no work required or very minimal work needed but not essential
2 - Good, some work required - EG spots of varnishing
1 - Poor, needs work, or is damaged, or missing ferrules
Some paddles are being sold as a set of two paddles
- they were originally obtained in that way and hence do match in condition etc. These sets will not be split and be sold separately.
New rubber paddle drip rings are available to purchase - is not included with the paddles
Shipping of these paddles only, to UK mainland addressess - £10.00
for one, £12.00 for two paddles
Any particular vintage paddle that you are after, do provide details and we will try
get
one for you.
