A family friend gave me an old tackle box several years ago that belonged to her father. The man passed in the 60's, and I was told he was an avid fisherman. I went through the box after seeing this thread and found these 2 old flat fish and the other (I cannot recall name). All 3 are made of wood, so I'm assuming they would be relatively old? Any ideas?
Managed to get my Grandfathers stuff that I think contained some of my Great Grandfathers tackle in an old christmas card box in the bottom of his tackle box. All proudly displayed in the mancave now. Attachment 39850Attachment 39851 The spinner baits are made by a now out of business company around 1910.
Nicely done...I wish I had thought to keep more of the stuff I found in my Dad's box. Your way of displaying them is really neat.Quote:

The top two are flatfish, and the other is a chugger, a top water bait. Believe all three are made by Heddon.

I have a metal tackle box full of old tackle I will never use. It was passed down from an uncle.

Some old reels as well. Boxes are not for those reels.

I believe Helin is the name of the company that used to make the Flatfish.
