I have a large amount of unfinished plugs (100's), lips, screw eyes, hooks (1,000's), eyes and other items from the Cobble Hill lure company that made the Goo-Goo Eyes lures prior to the new company that started up. I also have all the painting fixtures used to hold the lures while painting and a few templates that wrap around the lures to give the tiger stripe look to a lure. There are also a few cases of surgical tubing in natural, yellow and red.
I'm an avid fisherman myself but don't have the time to be making lures, etc.
Does anyone have an interest in purchasing everything as one lot?

Pretty sure you need to have 30 posts to post in the classifieds here

looks like you have zero

I'm sure there are many interested but JohnR set the guidelines.

I always wondered what happened to that stuff. My family did business with them while they were around for a couple of years and never knew what happened to them. I've still got a whole bunch of the cobble Hill Goo Goos in my collection.

I'd love to hear some of the history if you know of any.

I would also be extremely interested in the stuff.
Would also love to see pictures.

First, I want to apologize if I broke the rules by posting this ad, I didn't realize I was doing so but, again, my apologies.

I will take photos of everything and post it here over the weekend.

As for how much I want, I really don't know how much it all is worth. I do know there are over 1,000 turned blanks of different types, boxes upon boxes of new Mustad hooks single and treble of many sizes. There is approx. 3 large boxes of surgical tubes, some cut and some long uncut lengths. The metal lips are stamped "L. Cooper" and some are bent and some are flat. I could go on and on but think the photos will help show what there is. I was thinking of contacting the new Goo-Goo Eyes manufacturer but I think at times it's better to go to the striper swipers than the money makers.
Anyone is welcome to visit, I'm in Norwalk, CT.
Thanks again,
Rudy

Post in the classifieds don't count towards post totals anymore. It's because you are supposed to have 30 posts in other forums prior to seling in here. This guy somehow came in, only posted items for sale and apparently didn't deal on the level with members of the site. I have a felling that we won't be seeing rudyeb on the site agian unless he has something else to sell.

Then he shouldn't be alowwed to post anything for sale till he has the 30 posts on the site. Respect is a very important thing on any site.seems like he posted here and sold elsewhere.
