This just came up on the auction block - some of Zane Grey's fishing tackle:
Zane Grey owned Ashaway Special BOATMENS’ Cuttyhunk line box
Coming from Zane Grey’s home in Altadena, CA is this Ashaway Special Boatmen’s Cuttyhunk, hand laid, twisted linen line box. The empty box measures 5 3/8″x 8″x 1 5/8″ and once held 6/12 dozen, 50yd., 45lb wet tested line.
This item came directly from Zane Grey’s home in Altadena, California, and was part of his personal fishing tackle.
The item was purchased from the Lang’s sale in November of 2007 as part of the Brock-Tinglum collection of Zane Grey fishing items.
“For years it had been rumored the 1967 fire had engulfed many of these important articles, which can now be proven false by the presence of this collection. The wish of Brock and Tinglum, who have preserved these important items with care for many years, is to pass each rare object to others who share their enthusiasm for the man that so many, 68 years after his death, are still infatuated with” ~ Lang’s, November 2007
