Vintage tackle fetches nice return

[bw1]

I have gleaned a lot of knowledge and insperation from this forum and I felt like it was time to share something that I found and you guys should look for. I bought a small box of vintage fishing tackle for $20. Sold items on Ebay for $201.00. Aparently there are fanatics out there collecting old lures. One lure brought $96. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180516064370&ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT

Yes very highly collectable a number of years back my next door neibour gave me a fishing reel that had been painted black, it was a hand crank centre pin, I cleaned it up and placed a picture on a fishing Antique website asking for details of it, turned out to be a 1800s Brass early Salmon Reel I sold it for £175.00
