Antique Fishing Lures: The ebay weekend buzz

Staying on typical form, a lot of antique fishing lure auctions set to end over the weekend, ofcourse this is where the money is at. Here are some of the outstanding finds from this weekends performance.

In the Creek Chub Bait Co. category, a very nice 6807 jointed striper pikie fishing lure sold at auction for $213.50. This lure was in very nice condition with only a few paint line cracks on the belly and very little hook corrosion. Pattern was what I believed to be called mullet. There were many more for the CCBCo that had good numbers and quite a few that sold in the $100 to $150 dollar range, but this is the one that stood out.


For Shakespeare, no real lures stuck out, but there was a very unique find on an antique fishing lure box, box-03fg-1904. Amazingly this box was still in shape, in tact, papers. Just quite a specimen to look at. Brought in an incredible offer and sold for $442.89. I was impressed. Such craftsmanship that you just don't really see much of these days.


In the Heddon category, there were 2 real standouts based on quality and price. The first crab wiggler that had a white body with red blush around the eyes. Sexy, and especially for the going rate of $202.50, very sexy!

The second was a trade minnow 100 that brought in a pretty penny of $179.19. Really clean and very nice sample.


As always, remember guides are great but the market pays!
