Also looking for Fishing Reels from companies such as Meek, Milam, Talbot, Heddon, William Shakespeare Jr., South Bend, Pflueger, Indiana Style Fishing Reels, and many more.

 

I am very interested in old lure and reel boxes. In many cases, they add greatly to the value, so don't throw them away.

 

I am interested in purchasing anything from a single old fishing lure or reel, to an entire collection. If you have something and would just like help with an appraisal, I would be happy to do that also. Please call or email. I would love to hear from you. 

 

 

I also pay finders fees. Ask for details

    Below is a detailed list of some of the old miscellaneous baits and lure boxes that I would like to purchase. Please get in touch with me if you can help with any of these antique fishing lures. A vintage wood or cardboard picture lure or reel box would really make my day. There are many more that are not on this list. In most cases, I will pay book prices but sometimes very much more:
