First photo are like new Bagleys Bass N Shads.

 

Next are flat-sided, coffin Bill cranks from Tennessee. The bottom of the two small ones have a sticker that read TN-PRO. The larger one has a sticker that reads PERRY's. These are home made I believe. Anybody have any info on them?

 

Then the bottom is a Rebel Craw and diving Rattle Trap . 

 

Paid three dollars a piece for them.

Nice! Love the Rebel Craw. I think the Diving trap is kind of rare. Nice find.

They may be Vintage, not Antique that are 1940’s or earlier.

Suggest you change the hooks if planning to use them.

The bottom two middle chartreuse ones look like they might be Poe's. Hard to tell that top one.

Tennessee is a Mecca for balsa crank baits, flatsides  started there. I believe those lures pictured are custom made, the eye are not painted on like Black Label etc.

One of the handmade cranks reads Perrys on the bottom . They are all three made by the same person . I have discovered that there was a man from Tennessee named Perry Shockly who made flat sided cranks . Any of you TN guys know anything?
