These fish are much easier to keep...they don't even need food! LOL Anyway, some of my old lure collection. I've been working on building and setting up display frames all week it seems. I took old picture frames, pine Mull Casing, Birch veneer panelling and cobbled them together in display cases. Basically, kinda got frustrated looking for a suitable display and made 'em myself. These are old Creek Chub lures.







and one old magazine ad


They're all going up in the snooker room along with pictures of cottages and bungalows and a map of Suffolk England.
regards

VERY cool project! Are they behind glass?

I can never find display cases that I like for anything.

I've used a bunch of them and then started getting into collecting them here and there about 20 years ago. They are behind glass. The three smaller frames are thrift store specials, 79c, and two at 99c. Beats the heck out of buying the glass and frames at retail. Just the glass for the two larger frames was almost 14 bucks at Glavin Glass. I've got a few more to do.

Great bargains! They'll all make a great display down in the snooker room!
