Many thanks to  BFT member who let me have a chance to raid the vintage family tackle box. I have been drooling for a couple days as I sort through some angling history.

Got to share a few - here is a photo and a couple close ups. To make it intresting...Whomever can name the most can pick one out and I will send it to him/her. 

(I am still sorting out what some of them are )

Wow, I recognize one, JUST ONE, well a second one but don't remember the name.

Blue fox pixee
Acme Steel-Lee spoon
Egb Blinker missing hooks and flicker
Miller Colorado spinner
Pflueger spoon …forget the name
Wordens spin n glo steelhead spinner
Dickie mother of pearl spoon (might be a compac spoon)

I’ve seen a couple of the others can’t remember who made them or what they are called.
Cool stuff.
Ps if I get the most don’t need to send one keep
Them for your collection.

Here is 2 I used in the late 60's into the early 70's. Still have them. 


 
The red lure is a Whopper Stopper Hellbender produced by Heddon, the other is a Bomber Waterdog called the Crocodile 

I'll have to set some up for pictures. I still have all my grandfathers and fathers 40 and 50's plugs from Lake Eire and Canada.

Hmmm, I think I have those same two.  LOL  My wife went through my lure 2014 and took away all of my lures that were old.  I have some that I have collected from when I started buying in the 60's, but I have a lot as well from my dad and that I found ad pawn shops, etc., that are much older.  Her plans are to one day put them in a display box.

The top left spoon is a Pflueger Wobbler, there are two on my driftwood/lure display. Caution, don't bump into it in the dark. Cowboy, I have a box of old tackle you could rummage through if you want to add to your collection.
