Fantastic, They all look Fantastic thanks for showing them.
I am going to ask another stupid question for which I am known for Almost all of those lures appear to be in pristine condition, Do you buy them that way or do you touch them up to obtain that new unscaved appearance, If they are touched up do they loose value not being origional ? Hope these are not to stupid a questions. Cheers Kimo |

Carl,
I notice only one red eye in that wonderful collection. Is red rarer to get. A few yellow eyes but most white. Middle of third row- spotty one with larger pupils in the eye. Sort of sticks out as different, is it a later one? Debbie D

Very nice Carl, looks like you've been busy. If going to the Expo and you have any doubles to trade, I'll have likewise.
Regards, Tony.

Steve yes you could call the spotted one rare, according to Aileen she only painted 4 or 5 like that.
Nice early Leads BTW . Yes Debbie, again you could say it's another rare HH, I only know of this one but maybe somebody has another HH hidden away ? Given the thumbs up by Henry as his. Just a guess but maybe painted around the time of Ron Dau taking over ? Sonny, I originally owned the other spotted one on LL , silly mistake letting it go, It was a slightly different green/brown. Mick, you do realise why the 6" Bleeding Mullet is so scarce don't you ?? There are also a few minor differences in the models which for me make it a bit easier to timeline them. Thanks to you all for appreciating them . Off topic slightly but I'm surprised that Jimmacs don't get the same recognition , they certainly deserve it in my books. Also posted a pic of my 5 early round bibs. |

Carl, notice the larger pupil on the early round bibs? That's one way I've found to age them, next in the chronological order, you get the coffin lid bib shapes, but with the red (sometimes other colour) stripe at the bib base, I guess to represent the gills, they're circa 1981/2.
Thanks for sharing.
Seaweed.
