Antiquetreasuregarden offers this Huge Lifelong Fishing Collection with App. 1000 Vintage Lures, Reels, Tackle Boxes, Collection Cases with Glass Covers and More. I am selling this Collection for my Best Friends Widow. Let me tell you about my Best Friend and Neighbor "Howard". Howard and I have been Friends and Neighbors for over 30 Years. Both Howard and I grew up in small towns in Kentucky but we didn't meet until I moved out to Oregon over 30 years ago and purchased a small farm just a 1/4 mile down the road from Howard and his Wife Anne. Howard and I became Friends quickly and we shared the love of Fishing and Hunting in the Great Northwest. Howard loved Fishing and he had collected Fishing Equipment since he was a young man back in Kentucky. Most of this Collection was on display in his "trophy room" for the last 50+ years. Howard passed away last year at the young age of 86 years old. His wife Anne asked if I would sell his Collection a few weeks ago because she is moving to a care home and no longer can keep this collection. Howard and Anne never had children so there was no relatives to pass this collection down too. This collection has App. 1000 Vintage Lures from just about every Major Lure Manufacturer in the USA including Heddon Punkinseeds, Crazy Crawlers, Bassers, South Bend Wood Lures, Paw Paw Wood Lures, Smithwick Wood Lures, Dalton Wood Lures, Bombers and So Many More!! I stopped counting when I got close to a 1000 lures and I didn't even count the lures still in tackle boxes. Like I said much of the Collection was on display in his "Trophy Room" and some of the fishing items are things he actually used when he went fishing. I'm not a lure expert and I don't know a whole lot about collecting lures, but I can tell you there are alot of Heddon Wood Lures, Wood Lures with Glass Eyes, Creek Chub, South Bend, Pflueger and More!! There are at least 60 Lures in the Boxes or Packages. I've seen at least 4 Heddon Punkinseed lures. Many Old Reels and Tackle Boxes and Much More. I have included 24 pictures but even with all these pictures it is still hard to get a clear idea of exactly what each case and tackle box includes. PLEASE REMEMBER YOU CAN SUPERSIZE EACH PICTURE WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO GET A BETTER LOOK AT EACH BOX OF LURES. If you see an area or box you want a closer look at try to describe which picture you need to see better and I will take more pictures and send them to you. Many of the lures are laid out in the lure cases, but there are still many lures in the tackle boxes and Anne found another box full of tackle, lures and reels that didn't make it in the pictures, but will be included along with any other items she finds between now and the time this auction ends. Anne has asked me to set the reserve for less than $2.50 an Item!! I am sure a lure collector could easily keep the items he wanted, sell the other items and come out smelling like roses. It would just take alittle time. To give you an idea of just how big this collection is the area pictured is over 10 feet across!!! We are going to put a Flat Rate of $100.00 for shipping withing the USA 48 States Only. I am sure the shipping will be more than this because it will require so many boxes. But Anne has agreed to cover any extra shipping costs required. We will use the lure cases to carefully pack the lures so they collection arrives safely and because this auction is So Large we can't except a return simply because this auction includes so many items. Sold As Is, As Pictured, As Shown. I am sure there will be tons of questions and I will do my best to answer all questions quickly. Thanks for looking at this auction. Please be patient while 24 pictures load.
