Yes, looks like an old "Neverfail" — if that is what it is, do some research — you will find it is about 100 years old — wood with glasseyes.

As you do your ID research — you will gain an education.

Valuable old bait.

Make sure you keep it in a somewhat constant temperature area.

Nothing worse than looking at your lure someday — only to discover all of the paint fell off in little pieces — rendering the value close to zero.

Best,

On the topic of some real og lures, what are these to people anyways? I got most of them in some tackle boxes at yard sales, but I don't have the heart to use any of them. I should probably make some thing to display these instead of having them crammed in a cardboard box. Also thinking of putting these 3 reels in the rack if I ever get to making the display.
