So for my dad's Birthday I decided to make him some wall art for his new house using lures from a few tackle boxes I have found this year. We both love to fish, so what the hell, I gave it a shot. I'm not the most creative person in the world, but after 6 hours, I think it looks pretty decent. I numbered the lures and I'm going to put a list on each side of the box with the name, manufacturer and a rough estimate of when it was made. Y'all have helped me identify a few of these odd balls but these 2 seem to be a problem. The one with a hole in it I thought was a Spinno Minnow but it isn't. So any help would be appreciated and any input on the finished product would be great as well. Thanks!

Number 11 is a lure called the Fincheroo by a company called Robfin. It came out in the early 70's

Number 19 is a lure called the Water Scout from a company called CA Clark company. They started production in the 30's and continue today as the Spence Scout by Strike King Lure CO.

 

P.S. Nice display he can be proud of.

That's awesome! Thank you! 

 

My lure doesn't have fincheroo stamped in the belly like I'm seeing in a lot of the articles. Hope it's not a knock off. But he wont know any different lol

great gift man ?

Love it

That's awsome!!  I have 3 tackleboxes full of old Musky lures that were my wifes grandfathers.  Some hand carved, some still in the boxes.  I've been meaning to put together a shadow box with them.  Problem is that they are Huuuuuge!! 

I went to Michael's on Friday and they were having a 55% off sale on all their frames and boxes. I got this 16x20 for $18. They had a big 2'x3' frame that would of been around $50. Hobby lobby also runs a pretty good sale on them also. My mom was saying if you download either of the stores app, you get a coupon for 40% off one item. 

I have a few of number #19 also, papaw always called them a river runt
