Default Some old flies(?)

Amazing the things I find when I have time to go through old boxes LOL. 45 cents would have been a lot back then..thinking mid 50s to early 60s. Never found out much about the company that made them, must not have lasted LOL. The eyelet for the line is probably the smallest I have ever seen!

Looking at the screen:

Left row of 2
-Mayfly
-Crayfish

Middle row of 4
-Grub large
-Caddis worm
-S. Baby Helgy.
-Grub small

Right row of 3
-Red Ant
-Perch Bug (?)
-Mayfly

Just thought I would share

Thumbs up Burke Lures

I did a business search and I found this company has been bought by creme lures. I would suggest that you package and keep this lures.
The old lures do have antique value. Good find.
I am working on getting some of there tackle in Canada. I found a small about of tackle in northern Alberta.

I remember seeing those in Planadins hardware store in Montgomery years ago, I bought one and tried it, Im pretty sure the fish all had a good laugh, because I never caught anything on it. They were designed to catch anglers not fish

That's what I thought when i first seen them. I doubt any of these will hit the water or be taken off the display for that matter. Well by me anyway LOL

Tell you what Wayner.......since you have some sort of memory of them actually being sold and have given a lot to the fishing forum and members of AO, if you can tell me man to man that you will not use them for fishing and keep them in the display they are in now, not turn them around to make a quick dollar....


They are yours for the cost of........

PMing me your addy


Money isn't on my list of priorities


If this deal is approved by KingFisher

A lot of those have been there for awhile so the prices are "dreams" IMO
