5681heddontiebara.jpg (74804 bytes) 5681heddontiebarb.jpg (150262 bytes) 5681heddontiebarc.jpg (61504 bytes) 5681heddontiebard.jpg (59526 bytes) This is a Heddon employee tie bar. Heddon gave lapel pins to employees based on years of service, they also had other items with the Heddon leaping bass on them, including women's compacts, tie bars, and etc. Not sure if this particular piece signified numbers of years of service. the bass is sterling silver, so marked, stamped Heddon on the back. The collector I bought it from told me he had bought it at the Daytona Florida Antique Tackle Collector's show in 2000. He said he purchased it from the owners of the Heddon Museum, who I also consulted about some of the Heddon pins in my collection. I am not sure if this was the original box. It is the right size, age, but any markings are worn off of it. The sterling bass is about 3/4 of a inch. Also bears the maker's mark on the tail. Good condition, light wear, and a bit of tarnish. Notice the River Runt hanging from the bass's lip? $225.00 item #5681

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 $45.00. If you wanted just one lure, let me know the color, $25.00 each. If you want multiple sets, or lures, contact me and I may be able to discount.  item #5230

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

 

5613shakespearebulletoilera.jpg (64160 bytes) 5613shakespearebulletoilerb.jpg (72108 bytes) 5613shakespearebulletoilerc.jpg (23253 bytes) 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

4620bassorenoa.jpg (25311 bytes) 4620bassorenob.jpg (9026 bytes) 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

 

5603sportsmansdigestfoba.jpg (236113 bytes) 5603sportsmansdigestfobb.jpg (212496 bytes)  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

 

4668redeye.jpg (29601 bytes) 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.

A few light scratches. $29.50 item #5225

DAM made the Quick series of reels, as well as fishing lures and other tackle.  I am pretty sure this pin was a European giveaway as I bought the one in my collection from a Romanian estate with other fishing pins from the 1950s, and this pin came from Slovenia. D.A.M. stands for Deutsche Angelgeraete Manufaktur and is located in Germany. The company is still in business. the fish on the pin is 3/4 inch, and the whole pin is 2 inches. Gold plated.
