Creek Chub & Ashaway Casting Weights

Here is a pretty cool advertisement for a Display card of Creek Chub Bait Co. Official National Association of Angling Clubs Tournament Casting weights. This card ad is from 1941. I have seen CCBC dealer boxes of casting plugs, but I've never seen an actual example of this display card. I'm adding this one to my Tournament Casting Page.

Ashaway line company also sold casting weights by the dozen. Circa 1950 Dealer box.
