They are MC lures not ML as first posted and Coffey is with an EY.Now I have it correct.
I talked with Mal on the phone and will get an interview soon.He has one leg and is 83 yrs old but still plays bowls from a wheelchair.

is it just me, or are there different depth lures there? A few of the bibs look to be placed at different angles.

got a couple of these, all three were given to me.
The first one came from a mates tackle box when i asked him if he had any old timbers
The second pair came from a fishing guide in Kununurra who has sent me a few interesting timbers from his or his mates tackle boxes.

They are rippers Simon.Do they have signatures at all.All the earlier ones have them while the quite late ones may not.

The paintwork on the one on the right looks like Terry Marshall to me JL. I'm not saying that's what it is for sure though as I don't really know - sorry!
It looked familiar earlier, and I just saw Alistairs post with some new Garra Lures and it finally clicked (takes me a while) |

My fault, I should have said the I agree with the Wild River, but the other lure with black bands is unusual.

Very nice, look to be in unfished condition. Put them up in For Sale area, let members bid with a finish date and time and see what happens. You maybe pleasantly surprised.
