Fred Arbogast Weedless Tin Liz 75th Anniversary limited edition lures. Set of 2.
One Perch color, one red head & silver. 5/8 oz. Arbogast made 5000 of these
in 2005 celebrating the 75th year since the company was founded in 1930. Each
kit has the lure, a reproduction of the original box marked anniversary edition
with limited edition number, a certificate of authenticity, a brochure on
the lure and a plastic display box. The outer paper box is covered with fishing
photographs. I have several sets. The first two photos show the two lures
boxed. The third photo shows the plastic display box that comes with each lure,
and the red and silver lure. The fourth photo is a close-up of the perch lure.
The last photo is a close-up of the lure box. There are really nice, quality, items
and would make wonderful gifts for the fisherman or the fishing collector. Sure
to be a collectible in the future. Arbogast originally sold these at
$29.99 for each lure. I am selling a set of two lures, one in each color, for
$45.50 item #5230
Four Granger
Select Tobacco. Advertising. Wildlife Pins 1986. 3/4" .
$12.50 item #94
Unknown
Salmon ? lure. It has a name stamped on the belly, but it's unreadable. Some
wear to the paint, mainly on the edge of the face, and bottom of the diving lip,
and a few hook pointers, but overall good. Pressed painted eyes. Wood. 5 1/2
inches. $32.50 item #1726
Horrocks - Ibbotson Award plaque. Plated metal on walnut plaque. 8 3/4 x 12
inches, 1 inch thick. Very well made. I think these were sold by H-I so that
fishing clubs and tournaments could award them to anglers. This one was never
engraved. 1940s-1950s. Has a bass, trout, salmon, pike, and sailfish on it,
along with "Old Hi" the fisherman. Metal hanger on back. Very good
condition with just a few light scratches in the wood, and a small dent in the
metal below the pike. An excellent piece of advertising memorabilia for the
Horrocks and Ibbotson company, perfect for any fishing collection. This was in
my collection for years until I replaced it with the same plaque given as an
award for a Tuna tournament in 1954 $62.50 item #5243
Shakespeare Fishing Reel Oiler. Bullet shaped. Has the body of a .30-06
cartridge, the bullet unscrews to allow you to use the probe to oil fishing reel
parts. I have only had a couple of these. My best guess is that Shakespeare made
bullets/cases during WW II. Either toward the end of the war these oilers were
made as give away Victory items by Shakespeare. Or after the war they still had
the machines for making cartridges and made some of these for give away items.
Marked on the bottom Shakespeare, Kalamazoo U.S.A. 3 1/8 long. Nickel plated.
Some light wear to the plating, a few small scratches. Hard to find item. $79.50
item #5613
Advertising
Silhouette picture. Reverse printed on the glass, Camping scene
with fisherman. With mountain scene, and advertising message in
the background. Couple of rust spots on the metal frame. 6 X 8
inches. $39.00 item #687
Fish Charm,
Tin can of fish bait that you hung from your boat to attract the
big ones! Using the tool in the 2nd photo, you punched holes in
the can at designated spots, then tied a string to it and threw
it overboard. Fish charm (powder/flakes/fish food?) would then
attract fish right to your boat! (Wonder if it worked?) 4 1/2
inch tin can. Good condition, a few rust spots on top &
bottom rims. 1950s $24.50 item #477
South
Bend Min Oreno small worm burn on side shown, otherwise good. $45.00
item #166

Endowment member tie pin. 5/8 inch. $7.50 item #3010
Zebco Junior Caster fold over tin pinback. round page itself is 1 1/2 inches.
Good condition, $19.50 item #1680
South Bend Bass Oreno. Model 973 RW. My guess would be 1950s. Correct box. Box
shows some wear, especially on corners and edges, but I do not think the lure
has been fished with. It does have some cracks in the paint as can be seen in
the second photo. Wooden, impressed eyes. Surface rig hook hardware. $45.00 item
#4620
Sportsman's Digest Watch Fob. Early, probably 1930s or before. On the back it
says "Sportsman's Digest - Cincinnati, O. - Dogs - Hunting - Trapping -
Fishing - Outdoor Sports". At the very bottom it says Metal Arts Company
Brooklyn, NY, which is the maker. Sportsman's Digest was a hunting and fishing
magazine. I do not know if this fob was a give away for selling subscriptions,
or just a promotional item. On the front it shows a hunting scene with a dog
pointing. Shows appropriate wear, and a great patina. It does have a couple of
groves on the front and back, just under the hanger, I do not know what caused
those, but they don't detract from the fob. Bronze, 1 3/4 inches. $49.00 item
#5603
Hofschneider Red Eye spoon. New in box. Box shows some light shopwear, and has
residue from the price sticker at bottom. 1/4 ounce size. Box is 4 inches long.
$24.50 item #4668.
Remington Cutlery
advertising keychain fob. Used to open your pocketknife. Plated metal, shaped
like a bullet. I think Remington put these out as advertising when they
reintroduced Remington knives in the 1980s. 3 1/8 inches. A few light scratches.
$29.50 item #5225
1949 South Bend Bait Company catalog. 73 pages, 5 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. Wear to
spine and edges. Soiling on the cover and back, light water stains. The inside
is good with light soiling. $42.50 item #5218.
South Bend Bait Company "Fish and feel fit" token. 1 3/8 inches. A few
nicks from wear around the edges, but overall a nice token. Given out by South
Bend representatives at tackle shows, and through other promotions from the
1930s-1950s. $49.50 item #4980
25 fishing post cards from various places, Wood River Idaho, Virginia,
Wisconsin, Florida, many other places. . All 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. Light
soiling, corner and edge wear, a few may have creases, but overall good. Some
have writing and have been sent through the mail, some are unused. $60 for
all 25 item #5321
Lady fishing postcard. Early, circa 1910, undivided back. Due to that the only
place to write a message was on the front, so this has some light writing. Has
been addressed, but no stamp, and no postmark. 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. Light
soiling, corner and edge wear, a few creases $9.50 item #5322
