Ashaway Boatmen’s Cuttyhunk Fine Braided Fishing Line
This is a Classic, Vintage, Original, Boatman’s Cuttyhunk, Fine Braided Fishing Line New on Card. This fine quality wonderful piece is new old stock, and dates back about 80 years. This version of the special BOATMEN’S Cuttyhunk brand hand laid twisted linen fishing line coiled on a card was manufactured from 1934 – 1936 by the Ashaway Line & Twine Company (est. 1824) of Ashaway, Rhode Island. This line came on spools as well as cards that also featured a label image of this same fishing boat which is very similar to Ernest Hemingway’s boat named “Pilar” that he purchased in April 1934. Hemingway always used Ashaway Cuttyhunk lines for his saltwater fishing and may have been influenced by this image in the selection of his own style of boat.. This piece has wonderful graphics and would never need to be upgraded
