Antique and Collectible Fishing Lures
It started with a muddy old tacklebox that was virtually buried behind old plasticware and pans on the bottom shelf at the back of the second hand store.
Its tag read $4, but it was blue, which meant half price that day. Recollections of hearing about a single fishing lure fetching a five figure price on eBay came to mind, so I put the box on the little rack under the basket of my shopping cart to add to the day's purchases.
Fortunately, I had a small cardboard box in my trunk, which protected the carpet and, as it turned out, was also helpful for catching small lead sinkers.
Given the condition of the tackle box, it took a while for me to mention it to my husband and a little longer for him to decide he wanted to open it.
The day after he finally did, he suggested we find some price guides for fishing lures.
We thought it would be fun to share our research about the fishing lure collection we found...
