Have my HISTORICAL FISHING DISPLAY at the Milwaukee Sport Show

Dan Basore	This lure that I hadn't seen before came in. Made in Kankanee, Illinois. I have no references with me. Is this a known lure?

Scott Jedd	Dan, yes its a documented lure circa 1949. Its history is in Lumpkin's Jointed River Minnow book. It's a really nice find, especially in that box. Here's pics of his little brothers...

Stuart Strange	Wow, there is over 70 years of collecting experience just between the two of us Dan, and that is a lure that I have not seen either.
