Vintage fishing gear

[kentuckykingfisher]

My grandfather just recently passed away and left me all his fishing gear. I've seen his collection a few times but I didn't realize he had his dad's stuff as well. In total there is 6 old tackle boxes full of old wooden lures and a couple metal ones as well. I'm still going through a lot of this stuff and man there's a lot of cool things. He had several jig and sinker molds. Buckets upon buckets of hooks bobbers and jigs where he walked banks at winter pool. I was also left with some very vintage rods and a couple old motors. I looked up a couple lures and have found that that 2 of lures are worth about 2k combined which is really cool. I already had a decent collection but nothing worth money. I really like this stuff a lot! Do any of you guys or gals collect old fishing gear?

I have been collecting for several years myself. That sounds like a great acquisition. Would love to see some pics of them if possible. This stuff is getting hard to come by. No appreciates it.
