Hey Fellas. 
Picked up some old timbers recently from a mate local to north QLD (Cairns area) and just after some positive identification so I can look more into them. 
The first pic I believe are large George Dempsters. 
Perhaps the black one also with white stripes. Don’t know about the silver one in the same pic.

Yep. 99% of my interactions are done via my i phone or mobile device. 
I’m glad it’s not just me. Thought I may have missed something.

Is the black one a Dempster?
It look very similar to a Bruce Kilpatrik lure i have but don't know for certain.
The silver one has more of a rough less sanded finish on it. could perhaps be raised grain from years of water use also I suppose.

It looks like an old Killalure barra bait but Im not 100% sure because of the paint.

That black/white could be by Flint? Not sure on others, top ones look to be early Dempsters. The last pic is interesting. Now that you've posted pics I'm sure you'll get some feedback shortly.

I’m not currently near them at the moment but the big ones are roughly 10” I would say. The timber there are sitting in is decking from the hardware store if that’s puts it into perspective for you.
