请问您是否曾经在新加坡美芝路（律）振发号渔具店（店主是位潮州老人）买过相关渔具产品，这家老店开张几十年，19世纪八十年代关闭。如果您曾经购买过，或者有相关印象，能不能告诉我一下。非常感谢。上面图片是它现在的位置，大约在天桥底下，现在已经是酒店了。

2-3 Ah Peks manning the shop. I still remember how the uncles look like. You can busy hooks by ew pieces and its wrapped in brown paper. Hooks are displayed using the soya sauce dish plate, the one that you would put your red cut chillis with soya sauce. 

The shop was fronting the main road for years and if I remember correctly, they shifted inside in the later years.

They were behind Norden tackle at North Bridge near the bus stop

The owner and his brothers always wear those old folks pyjamas(stripped cotton long baggy pants) and singlets! I used to buy Mustad hooks from them and also get to know a old guy by the name of "Ah Hock" who brought me to Singkep. Shop also selling lotsa handlines and nets stuff...cheers!
