    Description

    For your consideration are 3 Vintage Floating Markers, complete with line, weights & holder (storage) from HOOTS.
    The styrofoam has wear/damage, one has a lot of damage on the corners, shown in picture #9, other damage is in the middle which was caused from the positioning of the weights in storage, this is shown in the pictures. The top & bottom of each of the 3 weights is pictured.
    These have a patent number (D252-382), the only research info I could find on these is:
    File Date - May 16th 1977
    Inventor - Frank Hutmacher, of Mead, Nebraska
    Term - 14 years (so these are long discontinued)
    Each float measures 5 1/4" x 3 3/4" x 2"
    Each anchor shaped weight measures 2 7/8" x 1 3/4" x 1/4" and weighs 3.8 ounces to 4.1 ounces
    The holder has unused mounting stickers on the back (I do not know if these are original or added, I also do not know if they have enough stick to hold, since these are old)
    Please enlarge and look at pictures as they are a big part of my description.
    Please e-mail me with your questions before purchase.
    I will package with care & ship with insurance.
