Vintage Fishing Lures

[hamiltonangler94]

Just wondering if any of you guys collect vintage fishing lures? Here are a few of my better lures still in the box. The "Lazy Ike" lure on the right was passed down from my Great Grandfather and he used it for walleye on the Grand.

Do they still work? Not that anybody would fish antiques, but they look like they are in excellent condition.

Your great-grandfather's muskie rod is beautiful.

I was at the Christie Lake antique show today and picked up a couple of lures and some Evinrude Ad's for an old sports store in Brampton.

Sorry for the large pics, I can't remember how to do the thumbnail or else I have to use a hyperlink.
