Three rough but rare original store sales displays from William Mills of N.Y., N.Y. Includes one 14" x 16" unframed example with 26 assorted metal spinners, most likely from Pflueger, one example, 13" x 14", with roken frame featuring Phantoms, dead bait rigs, a frog and a crayfish, most on cards but in rough condition, and a fully framed example, 14" x 14", with original metal baits on cards from Bacon and other makers. Most likely dating to the late teens or 20s, this is a rare piece of fishing tackle history coming from one of the largest sporting goods houses in America.
