Wanted: Old Tackle For This Collection

           I am looking for clean examples for the following companies. If you have anything that could add to, or upgrade this collection, please email me. I am particularly interested in early glass-eye or hand-painted Florida lures and their boxes. I also look for early paperwork related to these makers. If you have something that's not on the list, but you believe to be made in Florida, I would love to hear about it. I buy or trade for single or multiple items,even entire collections.
     If at all possible, please include photos with your correspondance. Although I am sometimes unable to respond right away, I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for taking the time to visit this site.

Small Manufacturers:

I'm interested in anything produced prior to 1930 -- particularly if it comes in its original box. Also paperwork, posters, advertisements, books and displays.

Early or Odd Reels:

I also look for Kentucky-style reels, saltwater fly reels, or odd contraptions designed to winch fish to the boat. This includes boxes, etc.
