Found the buried treasure ..

Talk about a quest .. these are hoe-less plugs to find .. Finally scored one . minor front hook swing and missing paint ,, wood is solid ... appears to be white cedar.. On the box says Mfg.by Reeal lures inc. 50 Bourne Street .. Three Rivers, Mass .. Is that like New Bedford ? I bet VB has been there,,, left flowers or something ..

My ex grew up in Three Rivers, Its right next to Palmer, Chicopee, etc. Must be Floyd Roman had his shop there at one point.

I thought the other address was right around there also?
Stripers are in Holyoke right around the corner, Al Gags is from that area. I don't think all the striper fisherman were from Worcester?
