I'll guess...... First generation five o'clock 4/0 to 10/0. Seven o'clock 14/0. The ad is dated 1942 but the transition to seven o'clock handle position was more like was 1940-1941, wasn't it?

There seems to be two 4/0's and none without harness lugs. Is it missing the 16/0, 12/0, 3/0, 2/0 and 1/0? The 3/0, 2/0 and 1/0 were introduced in 1942. If so, then they did not parade the largest to the smallest.

Bingo, the handle position catches your first. Then you actually count through the reels and, wait - what the? Still, a great advertisement.
