ABBEY & IMBRIE, (New York) A City tackle retailer and wholesaler formed in 1875 by the buyout of Andrew Clerk & Co. by L. H. Abbey and Charles F. Imbrie. They were originally located in the Clerk shop at 48 Maiden Lane. A&I soon moved to 18 Vese Street, where the shop remained for many years. Abbey & Imbrie retailed many Julius vom Hofe reels which were usually marked Abbey & Imbrie, N.Y.. They also contracted for reels from many manufacturers over the years. Many of their earliest reels were manufactured by Conroy and Crook. In 1930 A&I was sold to Horrocks-Ibbotson of Utica, N.Y
