I found a random assortment of old commercial spoons and flashers while unpacking. I was wondering if these are worth anything or should I just put them back in the box?
List:
Pal Dodger #3
Abe & Al #2
2 Palco #6 P2B Silver & Brass
1 Palco #6 P2B Brass & Copper
1 Palco #5 P2B Silver & Brass
1 Palco #5 P2b Brass & Copper
4 Pal Kach Mor #6 Copper & Silver
1 Pal Kach Mor #5 Silver and Brass
2 Pal Diamond Lance #5 Brass & Silver
1 Pal Diamond Lance #5 Silver
1 Mcmahon #5 Copper & Brass
2 Diamond APL 29 1919 #5 Silver & Brass
1 Diamond APL 29 1919 #5 Silver
1 Super Diamond 5.5 Brass & Silver
Im not sure what the 3 oval shaped lures beside the flasher are. They have a stamped "X" in the middle of it Vintage Gear.jpg
 
The spoons are all good and will catch fish. I have a good selection of all.

Run them 20 feet behind the downrigger ball. Keep within 10 feet of bottom.

5/0 Mustad Stainless siwash, beaked and sharpened.

Some of my NOS Collection.

They all catch fish regularly since the day they first swam. I have been using them since i was a child and I currently still use them all in my mix. That's why I bought all the of the PAL machinery, tools, and forming dies. Most of them need to be reworked. They are now all under PEETZ.

Value from a vintage perspective truly depends on the individual. I have seen them sold for as little as .50 cents each up to $25 or more depending on the blade and how desperate the buyers are to get them into their hands.

They truly are working art in my books. 🙂
