Super User retiredbosn Posted September 14, 2009 Super User Posted September 14, 2009 I found these baits the other day cleaning out a woodshed. The were laying on a shelf and covered in what appeared to be chicken guano. Got them home and cleaned them up and recieved a nice suprise. The Wee-Dee is 100% on the body but the hooks are rusty, the Pikie is 80% on the body paint, but hooks are like new. The Pikie is wood and is stamped on the bill 9-7-20, am wondering if that is the manufacture date, if anyone knows please inform. I am very ignorant about old lures, both of these are wood, and I think the Wee-Dee is very collectable. Any information would be appreciated Quote
whittler Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Those baits are certainly worth checking out. I sold a Pike in about the same condition a few weeks ago for $125 and if it were in an original box the price would have doubled. Red head is a common color and that might reduce the price a little but still worth looking into. The WeeDee I have no clue on the price but do a little research and you might get a big suprise. Just Google Antique Fishing lures and you should have enough information to last for weeks. Quote

Super User grimlin Posted September 14, 2009 Super User Posted September 14, 2009 That wee-dee is worth something.Ain't too many of them out there. Looks like you found a nice set of collectible lures! Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted September 14, 2009 Author Super User Posted September 14, 2009 Thinking they are plastic as the letters on the back are raised. Dont see how a manufacturing process would result in raised letters on wooden baits. Quote
