Anyone have some backgroud on these??

I have been doing some cleaning thru mu stuff and found these. They were given to me by my Godfather Rafael Leyva who owns a barber shop in Wellfleet. He said an old timer who use to come in gave them to him and he passed them along to me cause of my love for wood plugs. There not vintage, but the man has passed. they are nice...just looking to see if any of you Cape guys knew him or have any back ground on them. The name on them appears to Say George Carlezon

Thanks,
Roy

He just passed away recently. Real nice guy and a fixture around Nelson's and race point. If you do a search on vintage lures and his name you should see some of his other plugs. I know some people on this board were friends of his and could probably give you more about his plug building history. Nice looking lures BTW

George C. Did a few of those laminated plugs. Real nice work. Most of his plugs were built to fish without mercy. Those, I'd hang them.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

A machinist that lived till 92, god there may be hope for me. Can't beat the quality a machinist gives you. Nice plugs and memories.
