some of it is,but you won't be hanging up your pencil just yet! hope you have the boxes for star wars!
ReplyDeleteTop photo is a 1920's plug, the 2 brass salmon lures look to be worth about £80 each, the metal minnow is worth about £50 and the brass lure in the bottom photo is worth about £300 on initial research...
DeleteMost of the Star Wars stuff is boxed and most the figures have their (opened) packaging - but that's a job for a distant day..!
Sod values, do they catch?
ReplyDeleteSome lovely lure there, who needs jellied shad? I love using propeller lures, the take always make me jump. And never underestimate the old mackerel spinner.
I love catching pike on Jitterbugs - they always make me jump out of my skin.
DeleteNot sure about using these, loosing a new lure is pretty gutting, snagging one worth £80 would probably see me going for a swim!
That's a truly beautiful collection of vintage lures. Do you also have any spinning or casting reels from the (early) last century?
ReplyDeleteCompletely forgot about them, I'll take some photos next time when we drag it all out. I know there is an ancient pin and a multiplier and some really early fixed-spool reels. No rods though, one thing we didn't collect. Actually there is an ancient pike rod somewhere, wonder where that is?
