Found yesterday in a secondhand shop, this Pipeline George 5" in a rather unusual Tiger pattern. Over the years I've had in my collection (now traded), a 3" and 5" in the more traditional Heddon Tiger pattern George painted, the other maker was Eric Moller who made the Tiger pattern famous. Be interested to know of any other members who've come across these. Smaller lure found with it is a Munt, with an embossed 'S' on the underside of bib.

Beaut lures Tony, love the Munt too the Dempster I reckon the stripes/ markings are put on with niko pen just have a close look to see what you think, i have this one  sure looks like niko pen to me [cheats way but it works] just doesn't look like paint. Tim Tim

Yeah I guess it is a bit tacky by todays standards of lure making to use a permanent maker...but because George did it himself by hand...that makes it special and fairly unique to him I am guessing.
