What a little beauty this is. This little masterpiece sold on eBay yesterday for $305.70 and gartered 31 bids in the process. Congratulations to p.p.peach as the winning bidder. This is a Heddon Baby Chugger Spook in a very delectable pattern. The body was full black and the pattern was a mixture of shapes all in white all over this little buggers body. This lure was in excellent condition and is an A+ addition to any antique fishing lure collector.You know though, I do have a little bone to pick about most of these auctions. I'm so tired of seeing "Grandpa's Ol' Lure" or "EX CONDITION, SEE PICS, ANY QUESTIONS EMAIL ME" and that's it. Come on now guys. These lures have a history. They have a story. If you collect them, you know them. Tell them, get others interested in the hobby. Provide a little more information about the piece to the novices out there getting started. Guaranteed, this will not hurt your sales, in fact, it will probably bring more to the table then you'd ever imagine. Wonder why you can pick these up like this, this is why. These are just a complete bore! I know it's not about the story, but I promise you one thing. If it did have one, it probably would've sold for a lot more. Even if it's something as simple as "Hey I picked this up 5 years ago at a antique fishing lures show for around $150 bucks, since then these things have skyrocketed and I've seen them sold upwards of $500 dollars. Gotta get the kids new shoes and new clothes for school so I'm supplementing here." Be original, have a life and a little SOH (sense-of-humor, for those that don't know)!
