Well I was excited as heck when I bought them. been looking at some now I think I overpaid. I bought the box and everything in it for $50. Theres a case pocket knife too. I donā€™t know, I might do OK. Hereā€™s a couple of pictures. The green bullfrog is what got me to bite. Haha!

Empty boxes donā€™t look bad.
And not all is lost

Great purchase...love the frog as well and it looks like an original Bass O Reno and a lazy Ike in there. I have several which came from one of my fathers tackle box and is really reminiscent of a nice simple Minnesota freshwater tackle box circa 40ā€™s-60ā€™s. Growing up in both Florida and Minnesota I can attest that I have seen much more of that stuff up there in MN than down here fla. My bass o reno has some nice Muskie teeth marks in it and it was the lure I caught my first 6 pound large mouth Bass on! Nice memories and great stuff! A+++šŸ˜¬.

This link has contact info, might be able to give you an idea what you have.

The frog lure is interesting, I haven't seen one that looks quite like it. The rest of what you have is a mix of old and fairly modern lures. The last pic I see a Storm box, is there a lure in it? I'd be interested, might be a $12+ lure depending on which lure it is, condition and color.

Fishing tackle is funny, some things you'd think is worth a lot isn't. The Pfleuger Trump box is beautiful, but it might only bring $5. There's a lot of complete reel and box sets on the market. The Pfleuger split shot box looks nice, if it has original split shot in it, again, might bring $5. The K-B metal lure might bring $2-$5.

The modern stuff ( like the lure in the KMart, Rapala, and Rebel box) might be $1-$2. But you have what appears to be a few glass eyed lures that may bring more....depending on condition. Between the box itself and what's in it I think you can make a little money.

Check with that guy on the glass eyed lures, and let me know about the Storm. PM me if you like.
