Thanks Edzard, I look forward to reading it one home as try as I
might I just can't read it on the blackberry whilst sitting on a hilltop In the NewEngland failing to catch a cod. Non on this hilltop anyway. I love these Old articles for the insite into the past before collectors were in any number. |

As a point of interest Deb, just wondering how many timber lures approximately were sold through your shop over the years?

Regrets I have many. Like the day I sold the last lot of Tenterfield Darts when Trevor shut the shop in Tenterfield Dec 2002.
I sold Newells, but could never get enough supply. I sold Timber Bills Bugs, Gadens, Stumpies, Legend, Oar-Gees, CCs, Lewis Lures, Garra, Whittys, Mittos, Lolbacks, BTD, Brett Campbells Hornet that Peter Newell painted (written on card) and of course Trevor McFeeters. Alistair that task may be beyond me. I rang Ollie ages ago to ask when that paper was put out and he didn't know dates. Debbie Dare |

Debbie...youve sold the lures for many years at glenlyon...and over the years hundreds of thousands of lures would of passed your door in tackleboxes from avid campers and fisherman.....when was it you started actually collecting lures....not putting one aside occasionally because you liked it...but actually coming to the point of deciding to collect...and at that point did you allready have a lot sitting around, without really acknowleding you were a collector?

We would sell them but try them as well. You have to be able to recommend them to the anglers. Brian is old school, flatfish, aeroplane spinners and Aussie cod lures, so between his lures and Dad's they added up to quiet a few. We started collecting Brett Campbell's lures first and when I asked him to make me one of each model he made, I had to take a chair. He thought probably 300- 500. He didn't know the exact figure and the rest is history.
