Old heddon lures

Post by Derek Kelly »

Anyone shed some light about these?
The 2 red heads are heddons, jointed vamp and Zara spook. No idea what brand or make the other one is.
Do they fetch much on auction sites?
Was gonna stick them in a frame and hang them up with some other memorobilia in the jax :grin:

Sorry to disappoint, but they're not worth much in that condition. The Vamp looks like it has a bit of 'worm burn' on the paint?

You might get some of the marks out by gently rubbing toothpaste on them with a tissue/soft cloth to tidy them up for display though.

The green one is a generic River Runt copy - again, no collector value.

They all look fishable still! :wink:

Thanks for the reply. I'll give them a bash again soon before retirement to the glass case.
