Bill Dewitt Pyra-Shell floats

Bill Dewitt was a pioneer in plastic forming and is most famous among fishermen for his Pyra-Shell divided fly boxes. Bill offered a small line of plastic baits as well as these floats pictured above. These floats were available in the late thirties and were marked discontinued in a 1945-46 Dewitt catalog. The examples I have of these floats are unmarked.
