Vintage 2-Spool Set of Highland Lake Braided Silk Fishing Line, Hall Line Corporation, Highland Mills, NY; 1930s -1940s NOS

Scarce, never-used 1930's - 1940s Hall's "Highland Lake" Silk Casting Line on original, red wooden spools. This scarce set has both foil labels on each (four in total), one version reads "Celebrated Lines" and the other says "Highland Lake Waterproofed Casting Line". If you collect these vintage fishing spools you know how rare these are! Dating prior to the start of World War 2, when a silk embargo against the Japanese resulted in a switch to the more modern nylon lines, any old wood spool with silk line is very desirable! These spools are in the original gold display box, which shows some age and surface wear but is completely intact and has no broken corners. One side has a label that reads: "Highland Lake Pure Silk Casting Line; 50 Yard Spools, Test 15." There is an old price sticker on the same side of the box. Each spool is very good on the side that has the "Celebrated Lines" foil labels while the "Highland Lake" side has some price sticker residue on each foil label and a spot of discoloration on the red paint. Some of this might be fixable but we chose to leave it alone. This completely unused set of fishing line spools with box displays very well and would be a nice example to add to any collection! Not many survived! Don't miss out!
