Customer brought this old Philson metal tackle box and lures in to me, to see if I knew what they were worth.  I have no clue, but I know where to turn.  What do ya'll think?

Well, I inherited a similar assortment from my father. I don't know what they are really

worth, but mine are not for sale. I found a beautiful piece of drift wood, actually an old

root ball. I dispaly my collection on this in my Man Cave. 

 

 

 

It looks like some old Bombers, they appear to me the oldest and probably worth the most. The Lucky 13s in there would be worth some money if they are wood versions but antique tackle has to be extremely rare to be worth any significant amount.

Definitely some oldies in there! Most look to be used fairly well though, so that's going to hurt value to any collector. 

Everything is wood except top pic bottom left popper.  Rapalas all say Finland on them.  Bomber and Heddon primarily.

Sorry to say but they are worth practically pennies. Nothing interesting other than the age.

That is fine. He just wanted to know and I told him I would find out. I told him they could be worth a lot or nothing at all, but I would find out for him.

Now that's a great idea! I've got a bunch from my Dad, as well, some identical to those in the pix.

I do know this i would do as RW said.. Old lures have a magic to them .And aint worth much unless they have have the original package. I would keep um

Almost every lure is still in production just not balsa anymore or modified in some way. Those are awesome, I love the sonics, they are aweome  little cranks, devils horse = topwater gold when the fish want one, never threw one until I moved to FLorida, then watched a guy at a dock catch half dozen fish on one while I am throwing a torpedo without any luck..Nice collection, Many of those are true gold and tough to find....Congrats, the Midgit digit....Early scatter rap...

river runt, not midgit digit although same I think...
