OK lure wizards, I have a few of these things I can't identify - and I don't really know the value of the lot. Took a gamble at $30 for the box, did I get hosed?

Came with two vintage reels, but both are missing handles:

1. Thunderbird No. 1913 Reel made by Horrocks - Ibbotson
2. Atlas 1708 Mod. D reel made by Kalamazoo Tackle Co.

What would this whole lot be worth? Thanks!

Looks like you got yourself a good selection of vintage Texas poppers and toppers there! :headbang: I've heard of the Atlas and know that they used to be quite desirable. But I've been out of the game so long that I have NO idea what they're worth anymore. Maybe do an eBay search and see what has sold and for how much.

Looks like a nice haul for sure!! :occasion14:

With all those gems, it should be EASY to double your money! Some of those lures might even go for better than $30 each.

I think the two lures in pic. no.2 are Heddon Sonics. I have a couple but they have the name on the side, I think. Could be a knock off but Sonics I believe is what they are...d2
