CedarLakeMusky Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Wasn't really sure where to put this but I figured this would work. Might be alittle off topic but I think vintage lures are really cool! I was given and old tacklebox full of lots of stuff and found what I think are old lures? I was wondering if I could get alittle help with identification and year. The order I will go in is top to bottom left to right. *Rapala Original Floater Year? *South Bend Bass Oreno Year: Late 40's *South Bend Bass Oreno? Maybe too Short Year? *Rapala Original Floater Year? I think it's older than the first one. *Make? Year? *Make? Year? *Fred Arrogast Jitterbug Year? *Make? Year? *Kautzky Lazy Ike Year? *Brook's Reefer Year? *Bomber Lures Deep Runner Year? Original Box and Paperwork *Same as Above *Heddon Meadow Mouse Year? Thanks for any info in advance CLM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Google collectable fishing lures. There are sites for collectors I'm sure. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoya Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Row 1 - Lure 3 - South Bend Bait Co. Babe Oreno or Midge Oreno depending on the length. Midge is 2 1/4 and the Babe is 2 3/4 long. Row 2 - Lure 2 and Row 3 - Lure 2 both look like Paw Paw Bait Co. lures. Called the "Pike Minnow Lure". From around the 1930's. Row 2 - Lure 3 - South Bend Bait Co. Pike Oreno Please note: I reserve the right to be wrong! LOL Gene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt M Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I have read several articles by Dr. Todd Larson regarding antique tackle. The man apparently knows more about the topic than any single person should. You could try a google search. He is affiliated with Field and Stream Magazine.

Stclairbaitco Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 The mouse lure looks like a heddon meadow mouse series no. 4000 collector value range $50-$100, the paw paw pike minnows are valued at $10 to $30 This is out of the 6th edition Carl luckey Id and value book , prices these days are probably much less. If you need more help the guys at www.joeyates.com antique tackle forum can help you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
