I was able to aquire No. 1000/1000 and now it sits right next to 0001/1000. I call them my bookends as they are the 1st and the Last of the set that was produced to celebrate the 50th year of Zebco in 1999.
Now that's really neat, Dick, they look really elegant together. Looks like you've only got 998 to go for a complete set, which should occupy some time and keep you from getting bored.
