Anything of value in this old lure collection?

Featured Replies

I was recommended to try on this board. This belonged to a relative that passed. They collected lures, and fished for a long time. I looked up a couple of the lures but I was wondering if anyone saw anything that looked extra special. Thanks for any help. 

 

There are a lot of pictures https://imgur.com/gallery/cVdIWtI

Not a collector of lures, but that's some great stuff.

 

I would think the ducks would be desirable just on uniqueness alone. They're pretty cool.

Definitely a northern lure selection with ice fishing decoys. If the duck and black bird are wooden I check those as antique lures.

The bone color Musky Jitter Bug if wooden or any other wooden lures have collector value. Loaned my collector lure books so can’t look them up.

I think the 3 lures in the top right of the 10th and 11th pictures are spearing decoys for ice fishing

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to check which ones are wooden when I get home. There are a bunch of Jitter bugs and I did notice some of them sell for good money depending on the color 

Yep, some great stuff in there!! I’m a very very very sentimental person, I hope you’re gonna keep that relatives collection of lures together?

I wish I could keep them. They don't belong to me. I was asked by his daughter to sell them. They recently said "if you're not going to sell them then give them back and we'll take them to a local auction house". I know there was more collectible pieces he had hanging and they did keep these, but this is the stuff they were looking to sell.
