I've had some of these for a while and picked some more up the other day.
The blanks are the finished lures as they came out of John's machine.
The blocks are the Test blanks (square end) to make sure they were on size, before
the next lot of lures get produced.
They are highly prized in my collection !!!!
Old blanks ready to be sanded and bib slots cut.

later models, old and Turtle block
2003 & 2006 Cod lure blocks.

same
