Blast From The Past/Antique Lures

[Pup]

Found these at a local sale last Saturday. I've been told that the wooden Runt-styled lure to the left might be a Horrocks Ibbotson or... an Abbey and Imbrie. Its round lip would indicate that it might have been made during the 1930s or earlier. The one to the right is an Orchard Industries Bottom Scratcher (Love its name ) from the very late 1940s or circa 1950. A nifty-looking lure.



Both are in very good condition.

I still have my Dad's old tackle box full of jitterbugs, hula poppers, lucky 13's, and such. Neat stuff. My wife bought me some tin signs at Hobby Lobby from old lure manufacterers to put in my "man cave". I love that old stuff. That one on the left sorta looks like a "lucky 13".

I have been collecting lures and fishing stuff for about 10 years. Those two are in very good condition.

Love the old fishing stuff. Those lures are nice.

I think that the red head "runt" design is an H&I

I thought I knew most of them but the other bait I do not remember seeing before.

They are really in good condition.
