I have many boxed Abu lures but I have only ever found 3 boxes like this one. Has anyone else ever found one ? I would appreciate any knowledge that anyone can share -

Bottom view -
The lures in the boxes which I have date from around 1956/57 and the boxes are written in English, I assume for the American market, but were they sold through Garcia ?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers, Mike.

There is quite lot of variants in abu lureboxes (even amount of window's marks ) .
I tried to find info about that one at finnish forums, but there hasnt any mention. I'm sure that Wayne (Abuadmiral) might know more specific information about that one types or he knows some strange abu-guru who knows.

Thanks but I asked Wayne years ago about it. He even showed a pic to Len Borgstrom, who could not remember it. I have spoken with the lure gurus in Finland and Sweden to no avail. I think that the answer lies somewhere in America.
Cheers, Mike.

To be honest I am not sure. I have my own theory that I will keep to myself, until I have properly researched them. The only thing which I can confirm is that the lures are genuine Abu and that they date no later than 1957, nor earlier than 1956, at least until I find a box with a different lure to date.
Cheers, Mike.
