OK, I got the ball rolling with my reply to BJ...so what is
everyone's/anyone's favorite Herter's stuff, good, bad, or nonsensical,
fishing, hunting, or general sporting goods?

Herter's was a little before my time. I was in a rod building
club in 7th grade and we all built spinning rods using Herter's
blanks, cork, reel seat, guides and thread. The Herter's catalog
was one-stop shopping for rod builders circa 1969.

Huh? You're MUCH older than me, and it wasn't before MY time.
Seriously, they were still producing the "George style" catalogs into,
IIRC, the mid-70s (definitely the early 70s). I think the name is still
around (it was a year or two ago), but it's about like A & F...well,
nothing in sporting goods is THAT bad, but...

And speaking of A & F....
