Thanks Mike - I thought it was just about that time frame- I didn't know that they actually were made in Billerica. Good info. By the way - if there are any fishermen on this site from the Gloucester area, there is a fish store on Bearskin Neck - It is on the right hand side about half way down the neck. Just before the opening leading to Motif. He has a bunch of these for sale -- 5 bucks each. He has polaris in variious sizes and colors. (Colors are limited) Pencil poppers various again and some Bob Ponds Atoms. Atoms are almost all gone. He also has Cod jigs in various weights - 2 bucks each. He told me he bought out a bait shop about ten years ago and wants to get rid of these!
