Comet Kay Displays Early WWII Ship ID Models 1st Set NR

This a really cool set by Comet Metal Products of 8 ship identification models (the 8th model - the sub - sits under the center ship - it is a 2 tier section). It is in the original display case. The case is stamped "Kay Displays, Inc." on the back. According to Fred Dorris' web page on ship identification models (Google: comet ship model kay displays) this was the 1st set that Comet did and was produced in the early part of WWII - probably around 1942-3. It contains eight models which I will list below:

USS Enterprise (Carrier)

North Carolina (Battleship)

Dixie (Destroyer Tender)

New Orleans (Heavy Cruiser)

Sargo (Submarine)

Barnegat (Seaplane Tender)

Gridley (Destroyer)

Phoenix (Light Cruiser)

Each is on the original mounting stick painted a very dark blue or black with the vessels ID printed on the end. The case measures 10" deep, 12 1/4" wide, and 2" tall. There may have been a lid at one time, but it did not have one when I purchased it. I am sure that the 7 ship models are original to the set. Dorris' photos do not show the eighth - but I think a sub makes since here. Each mounting stick is marked with the scale of 1" = 110'.
