RARE JOSEPH SCHNELL LEATHERED POCKETED CREEL W/HARNESS!

A rare creel from master creel maker Joseph Schnell! Made in Portland, Oregon in the 1920s, the leather is nicely tooled and in extremely good condition. Found a very scarce after market George Lawrence harness also nicely tooled with same brick pattern! Schnell used a large 16" wide split willow basket to make his creel. Original closing straps and buckles still intack as is the rear carry handle! The split. willow is in overall great shape with only a couple of very thin weaves that have slitely opened, again npthing that detracts from the collectable or displaying of this rare creel!
