Vintage Lure Identification? - benjaminsdca - 09-21-2010

My grandfather passed away and left some old fishing lures in his tackle box that I am unfamiliar with. Most of them are marked, but I am unsure of some others. Is there a board to post lure photos for identification. Some of them I am going to sell and just want an honest estimated value but mostly I am just curious of their history and would be interested even just knowing their approx. year and maker. Thanks!

I would start with the [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum/gforum.cgi?category=70"]Freshwater Fishing Forum[/url] and work from there... I am sure there are some anglers there that could give you an idea or two of the names of the lures or where to go to find out...

[cool][#0000ff]The one on the right is an [url "http://www.alsgoldfish.com/"]"Al's Goldfish"[/url] . They are still around but have been made for over 50 years and are rated as one of the top lures ever.[/#0000ff]
