Alright guys, I know next to nothing about vintage lures, and even less about vintage freshwater lures, so need some help identifying and pricing these lures for a friend. They were her father's lures, being kept in a tin in the basement....I got excited when she brought them to work to show me....so the next few pics will be the little info I could get off the lures.....ok, go!

Nice bunch of plugs. Nothing there of collector value. Most worth no more than $15 each at most. They are fished so....fish them!:fishin:
