Best Answer

'Papes of Newcastle' was actually an individual who hand-made fishing rods in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the north-east of England around 1930 / 1940. He operated from a shop premises on Grey Street in the city centre (which today is still in use a shop (Bagnall and Kirkwood) that retails fishing tackle and guns, although there is no connection with Pape himself). Typically, he would 'buy in' rod blanks from manufacturers and finish them off with handles, binding on rings, fitting ferrules etc.

He died in a motor accident (I believe) around 1940. (Info supplied is from enquiries made locally, as I live in Newcastle ... there is little or no information available via Google etc)
