camillus collection

This display was won at the Camillus auction. I assume that it hung from a wall inside the factory. Can anyone familiar with the company confirm? I'm sure if Tom Williams were still around, he could tell us all about it ... RIP Tom.

Gorgeous display! :thumbup:
Judging by the prices it applies to 1957!

I do not believe it was hang up.
There was a storage area that many old displays were abandoned!
Probably from there.

I'm delighted to say that I do!

The gentleman I purchased it from told me that that he bid on, and won, a large shelving unit during the first auction. When he went to disassemble and remove the shelving, this display was found in a box on one of the shelves.

Phil (or anyone intimately familiar with the grand old Company), these "old displays" ... can you shed some light on their history? Who took the time to assemble them? Where they may have hung? Does the one pictured look familiar to you? Thanks in advance.
