Title: anyone know or collect antique lures
Post by: flinger on July 23, 2012, 11:05:07 PM: I bought a couple of tackle boxes off c/l the other day and they have a few antiques in them
Two that kinda caught my attention were a SPINNO MINNO #509 .the other is a Shakespere PAD-LER black and red mouse .Just curious if anyone would know approximate ballpark figures on these or if there is anywhere i can take them to have them checked for condition and value

When it brings up the search results, click on the refine option, or the advance search option. Then check the box for completed listings. It will show you whether any of them have sold and how much. The listed price that people start items at is not a good way to base anything off of. It only matters what they are seling for. :twocents:

PADLER - only one hit for 100 bucks buy it now, probably someone in a situation similar to yours!

SPINNO - looks like this one could be worth something! The top auction has 9 bids and is over 100 bucks

If you're interested in selling one way is ebay/craigslist, another good way is to google people who collect old lures and see if they are interested. Last year I picked up some old crippled herring jigs before they were luhr jensen in their original packaging at a garage sale and sold them to a collector and made 5x what I paid for them. :twocents:
