I think everyone wish's they kept the box's!!!!!! When I worked at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station in Civil Engineering one of the computer guys who knew I did alot of fishing asked me to value some stuff for him. Brought me 4 of the old UMCO 7 tray tackle box's.
I'm thinking ok just a few bucks here and there .......
I thought I was gonna have heart failure right then and there when I opened that first box - Bass oreno's, lucky 13's, CCB's of all kinds and size's, and the list went on. All of them brand new in original box's and they still had the price written on them from the tackle store he got them from 1.05, .95!!!!!! Box 2 was my favorite waterdogs, hellbenders, vamp spooks, hawiian wigglers, and more.
Turn's out these 4 box's were his overfill box's choke!!!!!!!!! We had just gotten bonus checks and I offered to give him the whole thing for the lures, even box 2 just for that one. But no honest me I told him he had ALOT of money sitting there.
Not being a fisherman he took them to an auction house and they sold for $18,000!!!!!!!!! and that was back in 1994. Still hurts to think about it.
