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?

Decoy and duck boat paint. I still have some out there in the barn ( may
be dried up, haven't opened in years )

If I remember correctly, Herter's had a small catalog of just waterfowl
hunting stuff for several years after the big one stopped coming. I wasn't
much into fishing back then but I bought several hunting items from the old
catalogs ... mostly usable.

Bong! Flashback! I had a good friend, now dead, ( my kid is named after
him ) that was a genius at 'trick paint' on cars. He had one van he did
featured on the cover of that Sunday Parade magazine. He mixed Herter's
paints with some of his own and painted a 12ft duck boat for me. Using an
air brush he covered her with cattails and such, much like some modern photo
quality camo patterns you see now, .... but this was long before their time.
Damn she was a thing of beauty. She was christened "Mud Hen" and turned
human heads, but was ignored by ducks, wherever she went.
