Hi;
I think that you are too young, but in the 1950’s Shartenberg’s in down town New Haven used to have a “fishing Pond” where kids could dangle white line into a large basin with a bamboo pole and Christmas ornament hook on the end, and hook gifts: I think it cost our parents $.10. I have looked and looked for a photo of it and cannot find one!! I figured that if ANYONE could find one it would be you, have you ever seen a photo of it? I recollected this on our Fair Haven Neighborhood Memories Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FairHavenMemories/ Which you should join!!, what a wonderful addition you would be to that FDB page! and was hoping that I could locate a photo of it for that FB page? Regards, Andy. Andrew Loulis, aloulis@charter.net
