No, but you can mail me the silver spoon if you like.

Everything is collectible my Friend......
There are people that fight over Fishing Lures like yours.....like Millionaires over Rembrandts....at Sothebys of London.
At just a glance....the lures in the far right side of the box have the most desire,
not great desire....but desire. I bought a tackle box at a garage sale that had a Sheridan 22cal "Knock-a-bout" pistol and two Case Knives in the bottom for $2.
Sold the pistol for $175.00 and the knives for $50 and $60. Always check those $1-10.00 dollar boxes at a sale.

I dont think the lures are old enough. It looks like my 70's tackle box. Maybe a few have some value but I wouldnt have bought it. The porcelain dolls are broken. The one unbroken arm may have some value.

Im going to follow this post. If it has value, I can sell mine. Try to look at each lure seperately and maybe youll find a few in a lure book.

that silver spoon will fetch 12-20 dollars on ebay. a few of those poppers will fetch 3-5 bucks, but mabye not on ebay because they are pickey buyers there.

I guess the answer is yes but I dont think the lures are worth more than a couple bucks like trader says. I would research each one individually. I have a book somewhere.

I cant see the writing on the spoon. It may be silverplate.

You can ususaly figure that if the lures are plastic not worth much.
but if they are wood quite a bit, especally with box. Jimbob

I also think these Fishing Lures are 70's era I did a lot of fishing in Alaska in the 70-80's and they look very familiar!

 

[traderoftreasures]

if you find some that say heddon..... they are worth lots

Fishing lures that are "jitterbug", "hula popper" or "lazy Ike" are worth a little more than others.
As was said before, original boxes in good shape can double or triple the value.
Good luck!

Steve, it looks like you found my dolls long lost sister! (except she has an inny and mine has an outy)

The man that owned that tackle box?? Was a bass fisherman... I see Hula Poppers, Jointed Rapala's. Little cleo's, Flatfish, A Johnson's (weedless) silver minnow, Jitter-bugs blah, blah New, The Rapala's sell for 5-7 bucks a piece....But, Keep casting those, The value if sold, might Buy you a meal at Mc Donalds.
