Table of Contents Description: Progressing from simple implements of bone, stone, and wood to metals to the elaborately feathered flies of the Victorian era, antique fishing lures are now sought as highly prized collectibles. This edition has hundreds of new photographs and much new information not included in the first edition. Chapters include the 'big ten' companies, miscellaneous lure companies, metal lures, handmade lures, and finally the seldom seen experimental lures. Concerned primarily with the most collectible antique fishing lures made before 1940, this deluxe hardbound book contains well over 1,300 lures beautifully reproduced in full color. Research and identification will be simple yet effective with these descriptions, sizes, dates, values, and quick comparisons of similar features of lures.. Publisher's Review: This book focuses on the "big ten" companies, metal lures, handmade lures, and the seldom seen experimental lures, and emphasizes antique lures made before 1940. Each section begins with a short introduction about the company, followed by vivid, representative color photographs that the company made. Each photo lists the name of the lure, number, date manufactured, length, collector value, and any important notes or details about the lure. Here's a sampling of some of the excellent comapies covered: Creek Chub Bait CoJames Heddon & SonsFred Keeling & Co.Paw Paw Bait Co.Pflueger/ Enterprise Mfg.
