The Turner Company's SPIDER LURE
If you write about something as "rare", then it damn well better be just that, because most lures are seen in auctions or on Ebay from time to time. Delbert Turner was the inventor, and his father, Ed, machined these out in their hardware store in Hale, Missouri. Dean Murphy stated in his book, "Fishing Tackle Made in Missouri", that only 150 or so were made, and they didn't sell well. He stated that Delbert destroyed about 40-50 of them before he retired, so it goes to figure that there are only a 100 of these, OR LESS, left in the world. Now if you figure that alot of them that were used may have rusted out, that leaves VERY DARN FEW left!!!
This bizzarre metal lure is one ABSOLUTELY EXCELLANT example of the Spider Lures, and you don't see many of them around at all, especially in this condition... Absolutely 100% MINT condition; no rust, no delapitation, NOTHING!!! ....the lure, the box, the papers, the whole kit and kaboodle (check out the pictures) ..... The tabs on the box are even in great shape, so good, that I won't bend them down... as nice as I've seen ever; they DO NOT show up in antique stores, and you DON'T find them in Lures Shows; the owners keep them, no matter what condition they're in. I collect the most unusual lures and fishing hardware that I can find on the market and antique stores throughout the South. Watch my items up for auction over the course of the next month for the best and most sought after lures out there!!!
Run of the mill lures are a dime a dozen... while
