Bunch of neat old lures, none that I'd likely fish with, maybe the yellowish bomber.   Guys in the Ozarks used to fish those alot, but the Wiggle Wart more or less took its place.  Similar diving depth & action.  I might fish the Jitterbugs, those are still pretty common.  I don't know, if you had some provenance about how old those Jitterbugs I most likely wouldn't fish them.

 

The Flatfish with the 4 treble hooks, I'm pretty certain that is discontinued, same for the Lazy Ikes.  The lipless crank in the center of the photo, is that a Pico Perch?  Those are kinda collectable.   Not sure about the others, but they all look old  mid 60's, early 70's?   Not sure.

 

I'd said that is a modest start to your old lure collection.  Part of the weird dynamic of lure collecting is that the hard baits that worked the best, got fished the most and got lost the most.  Truly productive old hard baits are very hard to come by. ( I'd put that Pico Perch and the Bomber in that category, some guys would probably put the flatfish in that category as well, but really that was more of a trolling bait)  Most of the really old baits in my collection are cool to look at, but they really didn't catch fish all that well and that is why they survived the 60's in the possession of a kid with a Zebco 202.  The vast majority of the old lures I have left, I didn't fish all that much.

No devils horse there, one looks like it might be a Nip-I-Didee ( red and white on right) the other on the left (frog) might be one but not sure. Looks a little long for one. 
I see a jointed Pikie, Hellbender or Mudbug, the flatfish and jitterbugs. 
The one in the middle without much paint might be a Bayou boogie.

I love looking at old baits. That's a nice little group you got there, thanks for posting.
