Zebco Fishing Tackle Company employee pin. 5 years of service. Plated metal. 3/4
of an inch. Good condition. I think this pin has a bit of age to it, probably
1970s? $32.50 item #6327
Everyone needs one of these detailed, tiny little metal bass pins. Only 5/8 of
an inch long. Wear it on your hat, lapel, shirt, or etc. Great little pins. Very

traveled around to arcades, fairs, and amusement parks. . I have several for sale. $6.50 each

1974 Winchester Arms Catalog. $17.50 Item #71
1966 Winchester Gun catalog. 100th anniversary edition. Norman Rockwell cover.
29 pages, 8 1/2 x 11 inches. Good condition with light wear to the spine and
edges. Stamped Grove Bros. Claire, Mich. at the top right of the front.
$22.50 item #5217
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
Helin Tackle Company Twenty Fifth Anniversary medal 1937-1962. Shows a portrait
of the founder, Charles Helin, on the front. On the back, "Always Good Luck
Helin Lures Detroit, Mich." with three of their most famous lures shown.
The Swimmerspoon, Flatfish, and Fishcake. Good condition. Given away as
advertising premiums in 1962. 1 1/4 inches. $35.00 I have a couple of these, all
in good shape. item #5713
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
$45.00. 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
Wooden Advertising ruler. Horrocks - Ibbotson Tackle Company H-I. 7 inch. Says
"Stay on the H-I Road to good Fishing Tackle" on the ruler side, and
"Ask your dealer about the Horrocks - Ibbotson Tackle contest - You may win
$500 in prizes." on the back. Darkened slightly with age, red stain on the
front probably from a magic marker, between 4 and 5 inches. $12.50 item #5636
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. I have
two of these, both in same condition. $79.50 each item #5613
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 shows light wear, and
some of the glitter is gone. White with red head, and glitter to the white
portion of the body. 4 inches long not counting the diving lip. $45.00
item #166
NRA National Rifle Association
Endowment member tie pin. 5/8 inch. $7.50 item #3010
Zebco Junior Caster fold over tin pinback. round part itself is 1 1/2 inches.
Good condition, $17.50 item #1680
Zebco Junior Outdoorsman Red Head fold over tin pinback. A few light scratches.
Round part is 1 1/2 inches. I have three of these. $15.00 each, item #6385
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
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. It is stamped only on one side. The
other side is flat. 3 1/8 inches. A few light scratches.
$29.50 item #5225
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
