Antique Lure Cases

Antique Fishing Lures by Floyd Roberts

On this page I illustrated some of my lure collection which is displayed in my collection room. I prefer to display a portion of my lures for my enjoyment rather than tucking them away in a closet or in tackle box's. I love to collect old lures from many different manufactures but my main concentration is with Heddon, South Bend, Shakespeare and Pflueger. I collect different versions and color variations of the same lure but I do not keep doubles or upgrades that I have acquired.

I designed and had all my display cases custom built. Each one is made of solid oak wood and beautifully constructed. The builder used brass hardware and double thick clear glass window panes. Each lure has its own label that is marked with the manufacturer, lure name, color and manufacture date all pasted on a green background.

Today there are many reference books available available on lures. Most of the material on the right shelves is purchased material along with "The Bassman's" nine video tapes and a few of my handmade books of personal notes. The comb bound books on the left were all gifts from Mr. Clyde A. Harbin (Bassman). These hand assembled lure books were used in the first and proceeding publications of Old Fishing Lures and Tackle by Carl F. Luckey.
