Hi guys I would like some expert opinions on these C Lures, I believe I did read that hand signed C Lures are all Carl's. But also he did use stickers towards the end.
I purchased about 80 lures from a lady about half were timber in amongst them were these C Lures, one was signed & the others were stickers they all look identical to my untrained eye in fact it doesn't look like any of them have been used and it would only be a guess they were probably originally purchased at the same time and never used. How can I tell if the stickered ones were made by Carl? I have asked on Facebook & the one guy that tried to help thought that some were Carl's and some he was not sure on.

You have some nice lures there Lyonel, excellent condition, they all look like they have come off the copy lathe and not hand carved by Carl, probably sels late eighties/ early nineties.

Steve does that include the hand signed one which looks the same as the others?

Quite a difference in eye placement, some higher, further back etc. Don`t think Carl would have made such different positions. Guessing the lower down & more forward eyes look to be to be Carls handiwork?? Cheers Richard.

Haven’t checked this site for a while so you might have already got your answers, but I believe the pink and purple ones (pics 9-12) were made by Bruce Rampton. Hope that helps!
