Yepper Blast From The Past!!!!
This Board of Old Lures was in an Old General Store (The ONLY STORE ) in Downtown Mertens Texas until 1960 when the owner closed it down and this sat in a relatives Barn nearby until I acquired it for FREE!!!!!( well a Rack of Baby Backs) from them in 2019.
I cleaned it up with care and it has lures From 1930's to of course 1950's
The Board was to let fisherman trade in their old non performing lures for hopefully a SURE FIRE new Fish Getter
at least twas the concept.
See IF you can identify any of these?
