Antique Fishing Lures
I understand this is a hunting website but I'm sure we all love fishing as well. This may be moved or deleted but I figured it is worth a try. My father and I like to collect antique fishing lures as well as hunting and fishing regulations. I personally have a great collection of Heddon Soncs and my dad collects all Millsites, South Bend Bass Orenos, Helin Fishcakes, Arbogast Hula Poppers and Jitterbugs (the older ones). If you hae any you would like to see leave a reply or email me at [email protected] and maybe we can deal. Thanks!!

RE: Antique Fishing Lures
Buckhunter,
Are you looking to buy more or trying to sell what you've got? I have a modest collection - mostly Heddon lures: River Runts, Punkinseeds. I also have some CCBC lures and others. I have been considering selling them, but don't know what they are worth.

RE: Antique Fishing Lures
I laso had a dandy collection of CCBC but sold most of them and narrowed down my collections. I'm looking to buy rare Heddons and Millsites, South Bend Bass Orenos, Helin Fishcakes, Arbogast Hula Poppers and Jitterbugs (the older ones). What color Pumpkinseeds do you have?? They can be worth a bit of money sometimes.

RE: Antique Fishing Lures
i have a couple of lures myself, but how do i find out what a fishing decoy is worth? about 6 inches, slight curve, white belly, metal fins, pushpin eyes( i think) yellow, reddish orange on top. lead in belly, looks like it had an opening made, then either poured or punched into the opening. oh yeah, are the teeth marks in the tail worth anything, lol?
