NIB w/ Papers Spring Hook Fish Trap Gang Bait Hook Lure

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
or20090328a NIB w/ Papers Spring Hook Fish Trap Gang Bait Hook Lure

Bidding has ended

Here's a hard to find, NIB with original paperwork Turner's Spider Lure from Hale, Missouri. Here's your chance at one of the most odd bait harness snagging devices ever conceived for fishing...It's 6 "legs" are formed by 12 black japanned hooks arranged around the perimeter of the bait-holder by 6 "pairs" of hooks. A spiral wire bait holder protrudes on each side from the center. A total of 7 sets of screws and nuts hold the contraption together. The entire combination is clean, crisp, shiny and minty. The bottom of the 2 piece cardboard box has 2 copper tabs, both in perfect condition and unused which holds the separate box top in place for mailing.

At $2 ea., this was an expensive lure back in the day. The paperwork indicates the hooks and center bait holder can both be baited. It is said to have produced "vibratory convolutions" through the water. Wow, if a fish comes in for a look or a smell, he's history... (more...)

Antique Vintage RARE Shakespeare Revolution Lure 1901

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009
or20080311a Antique Vintage RARE Shakespeare Revolution Lure 1901

Bidding has ended

Shakespeare's REVOLUTION Lure

First appeared in 1901, and sold throughout Michigan like Wildfire. They couldn't keep up with the demand, and the word about this lure was mostly spreading by mouth, newspapers and magazines were slow to come out at that time period...; it was obvious where the name came from; they couldn't keep these on the shelf. This lure put William Shakespeare, the Lure Maker, on the map. This ACORN SHAKESPEARE REVOLUTION bizzarre surface lure is my Rarest and Last Revolution,,,and my last, and you don't see many of them around at all, especially in this condition. The thing that makes this rare is the spinner blades.... they are UNMARKED, NOTHING on the blades...it's the only one I've ever seen like that!!! (check out the pictures) ...as nice as I've seen down here; they DO NOT show up in antique stores, and when I have found them in Lures Shows; the owners want a bloody fortune for 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 REAL lures are extremely animated and were the very best that the lure makers had to offer you. This lure is indeed a piece of history, and not for the faint of heart (or pocket book). I'll start it out REAAALLL LOW, so everyone and their brother has an equal shot at it.... $0.05 would be a real deal; they charged $0.75 for these over 108 years ago.... no doubt a bloomin' fortune at that time; and since the supply couldn't keep up with the demand, there must have been a "Black Market" for them that went well above that mark, all by word of mouth!!! You'll see more of these over time, but NOT in this condition, and this lure is a VERY EARLY ONE.... Patent Pending written on one of the Mickey Mouse blades.... it took a while to get the patent into place; even back then......Rare in any condition, is not a stretch....RARE IN THIS CONDITION, WITH THE BLADES REVERSED BACK TO BACK???? Most definately, not a stretch, This LURE IS A GEM, and you'll agree! (more...)
