Mastiff Fishing Line Spool
The Mastiff Fishing Line Spool; Shapleigh’s Mastiff Cuttyhunk Linen fishing line was produced by the Hall Line Company of Highland Mills, New York circa 1936 – 1941 for the Shapleigh Hardware Company of St. Louis, Missouri AKA Diamond Mfg. Co. The Art Deco period designed label is typical of the late 1930s, and the choice of a Mastiff dog as the logo image conveyed strength. This behemoth breed often outweighs a grown man, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). Not only are these colossal canines super strong, but their heritage dates back thousands of years. It has been said: “What the Lion is to the Cat the Mastiff is to the Dog, the noblest of the family; he stands alone, and all others sink before him”
