Collectible Fishing Lures: Rare Mechanical and Spring-Loaded Baits from the Early 20th Century
Collectible Fishing Lures: Rare Mechanical and Spring-Loaded Baits from the Early 20th Century
Neon Fire Fly
Little is known about this early pyralin (an early plastic) lure, other than that it was manufactured in the late 1920s or early 1930s by the St. Croix Bait Co. in Stillwater, Minnesota. The clear nose is filled with about two ounces of liquid mercury to make the lure glow, which it undoubtedly did.
Value with box: $75-$150
