Free Downloads Modern Fishing Lure Collectibles: Identification & Value Guide, Vol. 4
This volume is the fourth in a colorful, historical, five-volume series by author Russell E. Lewis. Dealing primarily with items made in the United States since 1940, the series details the fishing tackle industry and its changes until the closing of most companies in the early 1980s. Large, crisp photos, realized values, and company histories are once again components of this essential encyclopedia for collectors. It contains all-new material not presented in the first three volumes. Expanded manufacturer information and new companies are highlights of the book. A review of items from 1953 until 1972 will show collectors what was available at particular times from various companies. Then, the years 1959 and 1970 are given full coverage, as well as all Abu-Garcia items for 1966. Finally, selected photos of miscellaneous fishing collectibles and photos of rods and reels made from 1938 until 1972 round out the book. Nearly 1,500 photos make this a perfect companion to the author's other books

Mr. Lewis attempted to buy my lures in 2010 for $800. There were 300 of them, Heddons in boxes, and Arbogast Jitterbugs and Hula Poppers, too, in their original boxes. He didn't get them and I am so glad! His guide has helped me to identiy the valuable ones, which will now be sold on eBay.
Nice book if you like to collect or even simply have some older lures. Gives you a good historical perspective, and even if all lures aren't in it the major ones are. You might be surprised at what some of your lures are potentially worth and even change you mind about using them and it will help if your looking for some older lures on ebay and don't know if they are overcharging or not. Many of the lures listed can have a broad range of prices and this will help you decide if your getting bargin or getting ripped off or not.
