Old Stan Gibbs Print Ads from the 1960s
 

I found these on a plug collectors website.

I just made the largest GTS (about 10 inches) now I will try to make the 8"... it would be great if someone could post dims for the 8" version

I wish I was a fly on the wall in Stan's shop where he created all of his great plug designs... The path from his shop to the Canal must have been well worn....

I've been trying to buy beat up plugs on eBay to use for reference and measuring purposes. Also nice to know how a plug is supposed to swim.

Those ads are great. Have to love the vintage stuff.
