Thanks Mike Interesting, the red plastic tag was in full swing back then as well. Only one bladed lure in the collection
The lure next to it left hand side is that a small two wing spinner, it appears very tiny ,orange, and about 3/4 of an inch. Mike, lure right hand side middle row, second from the right two single hooks or a double. all the hooks appear to be a very fine gauge wire as well.. Thanks for posting regards John

Hello John,
The case displays the spoon type lures only, I have another one for spinners which I am still restoring. The bottom row of both sides of the case is dedicated to the "Little" (or Lill) lures that were sold at that time, two of which were spinners. The small two winged spinner which you have commented on is the Little version of the Svangsta Whirler which is mentioned on your pamphlet. Here are a few more Whirlers - The other lure which you have mentioned is an Atom Weedless, here is a pic of the underside which shows the hook/weedguard arrangement - This lure is not in its original finish, I have had it re-finished in 24 ct gold leaf. Cheers, Mike. |
