anyone got any? post it up!!

i picked this up a few weeks ago at a pro shop for archery... saw it and figured what the heck, ive caught fish on em.. wont fish this one tho unless its from the 80s, but i doubt that because the pack is stapled not glued like the newer stuff...

anyone know a time frame of when it was made? Vedder?

for those that dont know, Clarence Shoff was the founder of Lamiglas...

Redhook, i believe that lure is from the 70's,as it still has totem mfg logo vs. the triple teaser company . The card in this pic is early 70's and the bubble on yours is most likely due to its being a casting model(treble hook,thicker metal) Here's a shoff socko king and non flash bar model salmon plug as well

Got Triple Teazers???

i saw one of those plugs (the one with the metal position tab) going for something like 250 bucks a while back, preety cool PD.. yes, this one is really thick, another reason i bought it...

Cedar, i see yours have stamps under them, what do they mean? cool collection...

i used to have a bunch of McMahon spoons (similiar to the Canadian Wonder), but they are long gone now...

This display card used to hang in Buffalo Bill's Sporting Goods in Issaquah, WA. When they went out of business, I bought the card from the owner. The numbers/letters stamped below the lures refer to the finish/color scheme. These Triple Teazers are samples and don't have hooks on them.

thats a very cool display cedar!!

i dont know how much i spent in that place... when i lived in Preston and the Plateau that was the only real place to buy gear, Salvino's use to have some stuff, but it was more of an archery shop, Dick was a good dude too... deffinately too bad BB's shut down..

RH,Here's a couple more,


Eddie Bauer jigger spoon ,flat spoon from the old Haury's boathouse,and a Monk's moocher herring strip from the city formerly known as Winslow.

Here's what I got...

Wow

Those are awesome! I am always in the market for large vintage salmon spoons

Triple teazers were a staple on opening day growing up.

I agree, and my favorite was the one that RH posted up, the thick casting model in pink/white with the treble hook.

Fish on...

Todd

nice collection Aud... didnt know Maxwell made spoons too...

PD, cool spoons, alot of people dont know that Eddie Bauer isnt just a clothing line, he was an extremely good fisherman... the first house i ever worked on with my dad was his old house bought by a Microsoft family on Bear Creek... we found some old newspapers in there, but no fishing gear...

I don't even remember who tossed this package at me a million years ago!

Here's some more old stuff...

Nice Audball !!!

Knowing you, that's probably just a box of stuff in front of a bunch of full totes that are filled with collectable fishing related stuff.

would you be willing to sell me a couple of the Cherry Bobbers and 1 of the Fire Fish you have Aud?

PM sent, RH

Nice collection Audball !! JTD, thanks, if there is anything specific you are looking for PM me. its amazing how this stuff accumulates! I guess I should be doing more fishing and less "accumulating" heres a bit more in keeping with the season.


straight outta the 70's

before RVRFSHRS we had otto's acebaits,ottogators and steelies

I think some of these need to be stuck in the rocks??

cool stuff guys.............should go to my folks house and dig through pops old stuff and take some pics.......

Peace
Fly

PD, you wanna sell that Fire Fish? we could also work a trade out maybe, i have some old reels if you are interested in that stuff...

Fly ,please do!! I would love to see it!! RH,thats the only one I have but I am always coming across stuff,they next one I find has you name on it!!

RH,Here's a very early TT I keep forgetting

PM sent

yeah thats an old one for sure... i know that Les Davis also did a remake of the TT, along with Luhr Jensen, but his are called the "Little Teaser" in older ones as you can see in Aud's pic... Davis did his in the 60s, not sure if Shoff did them then, or if it was 70s for him... the originator was Eggelston in the 30s, he was from Walla Walla..

sure is fun to live in Washington State..

Wow redhook,you are the man on these things! Thanks!! heres one last shot,look close at ones above the les davis version and see they are marked Heddon. No idea of the history on these,found them in an envelope at an estate sale.

i just know what ive been told and have read, nothing special...i think Heddon made the originals before they were patented in the 30s, from what ive read about them they are from the late 20s-early 30s and are extremely rare and hard to find.. nice peices...

Les Davis patented his own, he tweaked the tail section and therefore it was a new design he could capitalize on...

i was young and dumb, and lost alot of my old stuff, cuz i used it, i didnt care, it was a lure, not so much anymore...

heres an older Wordens "Jiffy" plug, its probably not that old, but they dont look like this much anymore

Redhook,if you are still out there shoot me a pm

im right here PD

Jiffy Plug?


Introduced a wife and four daughters to MANY a hatchery trout over the years with that lure

This one has managed to survive 33 yrs....



AWWWWWW.... poor fishy.

Don't worry she got over it....

The look on her face in that first pic is priceless!! Good stuff Doc!

mines a bit bigger than that EF... heres a pic of it next to a K11




ive actually been really tempted to use it behind the planer... it says 4 on it, so im assuming size 4, i have a K5 tho, and this is bigger than that, so its confusing me lol...

An older locally manufactured lure I was given by my father is the Brass Robertson Spoon that was manufactured in Bellingham. one is rigged for fishing and the other still in its original package.




Many lures are designed to catch fishermen as well as fish. Old Mr Boston sold this to catch fishermen only, 100 proof, from the early 70's.

A friend gave Us these 2 wooden plugs last week, they look older (ish)

Top one was made by Rosegard
Bottom was made by Hook Brothers

Any idea how long ago ? Thanx...

I got Hook brothers 1935-53

If anyone would like to sell some Sammy Specials, I'm in the market. For use not collecting.

The Hook bros being pressed eye is a later production plug,I would guess the Rosegard is from the same time frame(1950's). Martin bought Rosegard like so many other plug makers as the market dwindled,and you could still find Rosegards packaged in a plastic bag with a Martin lable up until Martin closed up shop in the 80's
