You guys have an eye for detail.
I thought I would wait if anybody spotted the wording "Lil Fart" Written in the old cord cursive hand writing Regards John I wonder what age. |

That's what I thought it said, but it is the same as a Lil Squirt. The old bugger is prone to a touch of mischievousness. It's a special lure just for that alone.

an update on this lure. just spoke to les barlow, he said he has never, ever called any of his lures "lil fart". said he wouldn't write anything like that on a lure. it is one of his lures, but allthough the writting looks like his , he said it has been written by someone else. he admits he's getting on but his memory is sharp as a razor. anyway a good lure in the rivers and creeks.......mick

Interesting, I took several photos inside with a torch on a white lid.
Will arrange to take further photos in sun light and put up later in the week. Regards John

Looks to be original / legit signature by Les Barlow. I would suggest he has forgotten about this one.
