Some Old Wood
 

Looks like we may never see the other thread come back to life.

Let start a new one - I need an old wood fix!

Here a few hard to come by Lupo Darters.

u suck:p

Nice Tattoo:btu: no road like the old road:D

Is this any wood good?

Yes
worth about 25 bucks but those hooks show it has been used.

fish it, it will catch.

DON"T fish that cc,,,I'll give ya $10.00. slip will give ya the other 15.00 an maybe I'll let him sniff it from time to time.

Goose,found and bought the same one last winter at an antique shop for $28 without the box.He had a tag on it for $38.
Looks like Slip hit it close to the nose at $25.:hihi:

the box may be worth as much as the plug, who knows?
anyway, I know a grumpy old guy down the cape that has a mess of those:smash:
Allso a friend of BM's that fishes those.

Goose, 3-4 yrs ago on freak-bay after a lure like that wouldn't sell, i'd contact the seller and offer him $20-25 bucks ,including shipping, I got quite a few that way :D nice find.:) johnny "tRB"

I bought three of them for the the price of $20. Just changed the hooks over to vmc's and bang instant fish catching machine.
I love them things. Got a 36" fish last week in the canal on one at slack.

No one else has any wood to share?

I got some newer old wood as of late, but nothin old old...stuff is gettin to pricey,,maybe I'll pop a pic later.

Yeah, they work great with an eelskin over 'em!:eek:

I guess I'll have to break out the camera this weekend. :D

some gibbs. pre 73...brass wire.

Beautiful CS,beautiful.:btu: The patina on that wood is awesome:)
What do you think the original finish was?

shelack as in orange/color

Ya,i guess Shellac and linseed oil were some of the only clear they had back then. Wonder if epoxies will preseve as well over the years as UV will break it down?

Finally - someone to play with!

Here's my oldest Gibbs. Painted Eye Popper - only one I've ever seen with a painted eye.

Some odd color Bluestreaks

OK Mike, here's some wood Musso Darters. :D
