Cormorant Gladding Cuttyhunk Casting Fishing Line Spool
This 1930s era Cormorant Gladding Cuttyhunk Casting Fishing Line Spool was a strong fishing line made from the Hemp plant that was also grown to make rope. Manufactured by the Gladding Line Company (est. 1816) of South Otselic, New York, this line featured a gold foil paper label with an image of a white cheek glossy black Comorant bird, which is well known for being an underwater swimmer that catches and feeds on fish. Few of these COMORANT brand lines exist today making it one of the more difficult to find and collect.

This spool and many others we have listed belonged to John Etchieson. John has spent decades amassing one of the largest line collections. The vast array of line spools and cards he has in his collection is historically significant as John has spent decades not only collecting, but rather researching these companies adding provenance to these pieces.
