19th Century Fishing Lures: A Collector's Guide to U.S. Lures Manufactured Prior to 1901

Rating:
Summary: A superbly produced collector & dealer reference guide.
Review: Arlan Carter's 19th Century Fishing Lures is outstanding both as a collector's guide and as a fisherman's general reading reference. Chapters document lures manufactured before 1901 and provide color photos and histories organized by manufacturer. A 'must' for the avid fisherman, and a nice gift package.

Summary: A MUST HAVE REFERENCE FOR TRUE COLLECTORS
Review: I've read them all but this book is the best. Not only does it offer values and great illustrations it also provides a snapshot of the lure maker. You will be amazed at what you didn't know about these ancient lures.

Summary: This is an excellent book - one of the best I've ever read!
Review: This is an outstanding book for anyone who is interested in early metal, "spinner" type lures. Up until now, metal lures have been a largely overlooked and under-rated area of tackle collecting. In his book, Mr. Carter combines a wonderful collection of pictures with detailed information. This is a real gem of a book and should definitely be added to every tackle collector's reference library.
