Any help appreciated. Could open up some more collectible lures, small town, I think he’s holding back. Had a lot more stuff. Good to get any shut away timber lures out.

Popper in the first pic is GN by Gordon Nunn.

Nice Reidy's Prop-a-poppas in the last pic.

That Dempster popper is interesting, I may have a few put away as early Kingfisher. No eyes, is this normal for Dempster poppers?

Flathead, what town did you pick these up in? Would it be Bowen? Reason I ask is a chap from Ayr has been listing quite a few unknown timber oldies, Ayr being a small barra fishing town, these are bound to attract some interest.

Guy in ayr has no Lees. That was pretty much the sum total of our Comms. Bowen is my focus at the moment. Have work there. Pretty much on the look out for Lees or swapping ammo throughout my current work range. Sarina to Townsville.

And I didn’t pick them up. Just a wild river from him. He wants to know prices on the rest.

Agree with Chris, not a BarraKing. Flathead, if in Bowen the local tackle shop lady knows John Gould, but don't think he makes any longer. There's another chap in Bowen who made lures, name of Neville Beagle, my mate here in Darwin has one of his, nice barra lure. You could ask the same lady if she knows of him.
