Hey guys sorry its been so long since ive been on here. Life is hectic and I had to close Ramsey Reel Repair. I have a friend that found these old lures and as I dont know anything about the old lures I thought Id ask yall. Do you know what they are and are they worth anything? I know the one is a Heddon Vamp but thats about it.

lures arent on my radar, but glad to see you back around!!
Thank you I appreciate that!
Had to dig through some of old lures and notes and look on E-bay for current pricing but here is what I found .
Your Friend has what looks like a Wooden Heddon Vamp with painted Eyes .
If it had the Box and Paperwork it might bring 12-20 dollars in the condition it is in .
IF it had Glass Eyes you could double that or more .
The other Lure appears to be a Bomber 300 Series maybe a #305 and is worth 3 to 5 dollars without the Box and paper work . Double to maybe tripple that with Box and paperwork .
Thanks Wompus Cat! Ill let him know!
The good ol' days. Cedar, metal lips, wood screws and some with plastic eyes. The Backwards Bomber was a great crawdad imitation. If you went after toothy fish such as Northern Pike they would have battle scars. The red-head/white body combo was a surprisingly good color.
Well since you already have an answer I'll add 2c. I have a small box of painted wood poppers I was going to sell off cheap, then I decided I'll fish them. Pretty sure they're not worth money.

Well if any have Glass Eyes they may be worth a look at to see if they are worth sumpin . Multiple Hooks ,unusal Hardware are things to look for as well
I think it was Heddon who carved some wood frogs and gave away to some of his customers and those are bringing thousands ::)
Go to Guy on those would be Captain John in Round Rock Tex. I can send him some pix if you want to post them . Ya never Know bout these .
