A sampling of the valuable antique lures found in a smelly old tackle box.The night began like most of our antique fishing lure collectors monthly meetings at the Heddon museum in Dowagiac.
Things were going slow; a couple of members brought in displays of old fishing lures for show-and- tell, something we do to share historical information with interested collectors.
It was getting late and everyone was about ready to call it a night when two men walked in with an old, dirty Kennedy tackle box.
This 1920s relic was in such bad shape and stunk so bad that we smelled it before we saw it! The odor came from an accumulation of 60 years of dead fish, nightcrawlers, pork-rind juice, and who knows what else.
