Found yesterday in a secondhand shop, this Pipeline George 5" in a rather unusual Tiger pattern. Over the years I've had in my collection (now traded), a 3" and 5" in the more traditional Heddon Tiger pattern George painted, the other maker was Eric Moller who made the Tiger pattern famous. Be interested to know of any other members who've come across these. Smaller lure found with it is a Munt, with an embossed 'S' on the underside of bib.

Yeah I guess it is a bit tacky by todays standards of lure making to use a permanent maker...but because George did it himself by hand...that makes it special and fairly unique to him I am guessing.
