The lures of Peterboro

[lew]

Here's an interesting story from a Peterboro news paper about old time lure makers, plus a notice about an upcoming antique lure show.

 

Not sure if we're allowed to post links to newspaper articles or not, but I'll delete it if necessary.

Thanks Lew, that was a great read, especially being from the area I always enjoy learning something i didn't know before.

I was going to mention that a good friend of mine is a walking encyclopedia on antique lures but once I clicked on the link I see that he wrote the article.

 

Thanks for posting Lew.

Good to hear everyone found that article interesting.

4 or 5 years ago I bookmarked this site, glad to see it is still up, I've browsed it several times over the years, best site I've come across on old Ontario Lure Companies.

They were a staple in my grand dads old metal tackle box and caught many a Simcoe fish back in the 50`s and 60`s
