It took some digging to find the origins of this game because we have not seen one exactly like it, it may even be one of a kind.

We believe that this is a variation of the popular 18th century parlour game; Fish Pond as it has many similarities but is much more ornate and includes ceramic fish rather than the normal wood or paper Due to its styling we date it to be early 1800s.

The box is sadly missing its label, but the contents are in great condition, with two playable rods, one spare and 12 fish. Grade 2 under the Hoyles Vintage Grading System (see here).
