Collecting Beautiful Cigar Bands and Boxes by Syl Turner

The use of the cigar band began in Cuba during the early part of the 19th century. Cuban cigars have always been recognized as the world’s best and as such, commanded a premium price. This price differential caused some unscrupulous European manufacturers to begin selling lower-grade cigars with Cuban names. To combat this practice, a Cuban cigar manufacturer by the name of Gustave Bock, a European immigrant to Cuba, began placing a paper ring containing his signature around all his cigars, and it wasn’t long before all Cuban manufacturers adopted this practice.

In the early 19th century, America cigar quality left much to be desired, and manufacturers, in competition with each other with the nickel cigars they produced, elected not to spend the money necessary for a band and for the labor to fashion it on the cigar. By the late 1880s, however, printing costs had been significantly reduced, and it wasn’t long before the U.S. cigar industry began employing the best lithographers, who by using ever-improving printing techniques, produced elegant cigar bands and cigar box labels.

The adaption of cigar bands by U.S. producers created another opportunity for women to enter the cigar-making workforce. Bands were almost always applied by women using a dab of adhesive on the tip of their finger, being careful not to touch the cigar with the glue and being vigilant in arranging the band uniformly. In 1900, an estimated four out of five men smoked cigars, and it wasn’t long before collecting cigar bands became a full-fledged obsession, with enterprising tobacconist selling albums for displaying the collected bands. Sometime around 1900, in an effort to dominate the cigar market, the American Cigar Co. introduced a program wherein one could earn premiums by exchanging cigar bands from their 28 different brands of cigars. As identified in their 1904 redemption catalogue: a young boy could obtain a football for 1,200 bands, and for 44,000 bands, a family could acquire a four-piece bedroom set. Antique collectors may recall seeing ashtrays decorated with cigar bands while browsing in antique malls. The use of cigar bands for decorating ashtrays, vases and other household items reached its peak in the first decade of the 19th century. The first society of cigar band collectors was established in the United States in 1934, and some of the most avid devotees

amassed collections of 200,000 or more. In the U.S. today, the number of collectors is relatively small and limited to true tobacco aficionados, ephemera collectors and people with artistic sensibility, who think of the bands as miniature works of art. Cigar band collecting is much more popular in Europe, but in our country, one can purchase on eBay, for example, a lot of 200 different vintage bands for as little as $10. Cigar box and cigar box label collecting is a different story, in that they are widely collected for their beauty and historical interest. As might be expected, printing techniques and technological advancements in printing during the past 100 years are important factors in ascertaining the value and collectability of these labels. Chromolithography was first used in the U.S. about 1840. Prior to this, color printing could only be produced by hand coloring black-and-white lithographs. Unlike lithograph printing which was produced from engravings, chromolithographs were printed from a flat surface. The process involved using a grease-based crayon to apply the image to a limestone slab called a stone. The stone was then covered with gum Arabic and a weak solution of nitric acid, inked with an oil-based ink, and passed through a press. A separate slab and a separate run through the press was necessary for each color in the print. Depending on the number of colors present, some labels required 20 or more slabs, taking months to prepare. This process allowed the use of heavy oil-based inks, including silver- and gold-colored inks, and the layering of inks from the use of multiple stones produced a texture and richness that make cigar label advertising so appealing to today’s collectors. I chose the word advertising in depicting cigar labels because I think of these as early point-of-sale advertising. I can envision a storekeeper propping open the lids of cigar boxes for display on his store counter with the knowledge that these stunning images would entice sales. Around 1875, technological advancements (photography with color filters) significantly reduced the labor and expense previously required to separate color, and by the mid-1880s, most American cigar companies were using chromolithograph labels. The “Golden Age” for cigar label art was from the 1880s to the 1930s. During this period, there were more than 300,000 brands of cigars. By the mid-1930s, however,

a jeweler’s loupe. The chromolithograph will have small irregular dots caused by the grain in the stone, while the 4-color offset print will have a pattern of dots that are identical. Most of the cigar box labels found in antique malls are common and can be purchased at prices ranging between $5 and $15. They are common only because they have been found in large quantities from cigar factories that have closed. However, these commonly found labels represent less than 10% of the hundreds of thousands of different labels that have been printed. On the upper end of the rarity scale, as much as 25% of all labels ever printed will fetch prices ranging from $250 to $1,500 and more. To get a better understanding of cigar label prices,

visit the web site cigarlabelpriceguide.com which provides pictures and values for thousands of labels.

Approximating the age of a label can come from the printer’s identification, usually found in small print below the image. Some of the most valuable labels were manufactured by the German manufacturers Klingebburg Litho, identified by a “GK” mark, and Herman Schott, identified by an “H” with a dollar sign through it. An extensive list of American printers and the dates they were in business can be found with the Google search: “collecting cigar boxes and cigar label art eBay.”

One cannot talk about cigar labels without discussing the history and development of the boxes to which they were affixed. Before the appearance of the cigar box, which we are all familiar with, most cigars were sold in bundles of 50, tied together with a ribbon. The cigar box we know today came from the government’s desire to tax cigars to help fund the Civil War, and in 1863, Congress passed a revenue act that required such a tax. The problem was how to apply a tax stamp to a bundle from which individual cigars were sold and could unscrupulously be restocked to avoid taxation. The answer was to bundle the

the Depression Era, coupled with the increasing popularity of the cigarette, had significantly reduced cigar sales, and a new print technology called 4-color offset printing began replacing chromolithography and the exceptional labels produced via that print process. The value of a cigar label or cigar box depends on the usual factors: condition, subject matter, rarity and print process being the most important. When it comes to cigar label subject matter, nudes, Indians, sports, personalities and historical events are among the most sought after. It should be noted that by 1940, chromolithography was all but nonexistent. Experienced collectors can easily distinguish a chromolithograph label from one printed from the 4-color offset print process, but for the novice collector who might be in doubt, the difference can easily be determined with

cigars into a box, nail it shut and apply a tax stamp over the lid, so when opened, the tax stamp would be broken. Tax stamps were required on U.S. cigar boxes from 1863-1959, and their use helps identify the age of the box or container on which they were affixed. Here are some clues to the age of boxes you are likely to find:

*If the stamp is more than 12 inches, it is between 1878 and 1909.*If the stamp is dated 1883, it is between 1883 and 1898.*If the stamp is 8 inches long, it is between 1910 and 1915.*If the stamp is 4 inches long and has no portrait, it is between 1916 and 1942. *If the stamp is 4 inches ling with Henry Clay’s portrait, it is 1942 and 1959.

A Google search for the “Gotham Cigar Museum” will help date early Cuban boxes. Collectors refer to the most common cigar box as “Nailed Wood” or NW. It consists of six pieces of wood, generally cedar, held together with 12 nails and a muslin hinge. It will hold 25 or 50 cigars. Almost all NW boxes produced after 1890 contained an interior lid label. The outside top of these lids could be branded and/or labeled. The value of NW boxes, with or without labels, is governed by rarity, condition, desirability of the label and country of origin. I included “country of origin” specifically for the antique Cuban boxes, which can be quite costly when found. A pre-1920 Cuban box in good condition, with all of the Cuban tax stamps, and with an interior label in good condition might sell for as much as $600. The range in prices for antique wood cigar boxes from U.S. companies is huge. Pre-1930 boxes, in good condition and with ordinary labels, might be found at prices ranging from $50 to $150, depending on age and condition of the box and label. Similar boxes with better labels will command prices that are 30%-50% more than the label itself. A variation of the NW box is one in which metal hinges were used in place of the more common muslin cloth hinge. These boxes are referred to as “Nailed Wood with Hardware,” or NWH. Generally, these boxes did not have labels but used a steam-powered, hand-operated press to imprint images and ad copy directly onto the wood. Wood boxes were not the only containers used in the retail sale of cigars. In 1870, a law was passed that allowed cigar boxes to be constructed of tin. These early tin boxes were hand-soldered and contained a paper label. They are very rare, as not many were produced. Tin cigar containers became more popular beginning in the 1920s and 1930s, but their use was more or less limited to a few manufacturers. Rarity of the brand and graphics on the tin are the principal factors in determining

value, which might range from as little as $25 and up to several hundred dollars. The first durable cardboard cigar box appeared in the 1950s, and by 1960, 75% of all domestically made cigars were packaged in cardboard. Cardboard boxes are generally not as desirable as the earlier WN boxes, due to age, construction material, and the quality of the printed label. With cardboard boxes, condition and subject matter of the label will determine their value. In 1868, Congress passed a law requiring tax stamps on cigar boxes to be destroyed before being opened. Soon thereafter, the first cigar box opener was patented. In time, more than 100 different box openers were manufactured. (The last patent date for a cigar box opener was 1916.) Although they differed in shapes and sizes, cigar box openers had some common features. They all had a tapered edge or a blade designed to slit the tax stamp and any label that might be pasted on the end of the box. Also, they all had a notch to pry open the nail that sealed the box, and most had a hammer-like head to pound the nail back in as might be necessary. Remember, this was before the use of humidified showcases, so it was normal that there might be a lot of opening and closing of a box. In time, cigar manufacturers began imprinting their brand names on these openers for their salesmen to give to the cigar retailer. Unlike bottle openers that were often given free to the ultimate consumer, cigar box openers were designed and used almost exclusively by the cigar retailer. Today, they are widely collected with average prices in antique malls ranging from $10 to $25. However, like most collectibles, the rarest ones will command prices up to $100 or more. Very little has been written about cigar box openers, and most people when they see them do not recognize their function. Astute collectors see these seemingly unappreciated trinkets for what they are and are assembling large collections at very low prices. Attempting to provide a more detailed coverage of cigar advertisements would have included for example: cigar cutters, cigar lighters, cigar ribbons, tin containers, trade cards, tin signs, posters, broadsides, pamphlets, matchbook covers, postcards, as well as a multitude of items with cigar brand identification. -------------Syl Turner is the owner of The Broad Street Antique Mall in Chamblee, Ga.

The Shops of Historic Senoia, Georgia Senoia, Ga. (pronounced Se-noy -- rhymes with boy or toy) is said to be 100 years and 35 miles south of Atlanta. Home of the 2010 and 2012 Southern Living Idea Houses, Senoia is also the backdrop for over 25 feature films, including Fried Green Tomatoes and Driving Miss Daisy, as well as the popular TV shows Drop Dead Diva and The Walking Dead. Downtown Senoia was the site of the “safe haven” fictional town known as Woodbury. There are regular movie tours on the weekends that take you to many of the locations where these shows were filmed.

Named for Princess Senoyah, mother of the Chief of the Creek Indian Nation (William McIntosh), Senoia has a historic district filled with over 100 historic homes and churches. Main Street features well established antique shops, two bed ‘n’ breakfast inns and an eclectic selection of one-of-a-kind gift shops. Take I-85 south to exit #61 (Fairburn/Peachtree City) and turn left onto Hwy. 74. Drive about 18 miles, crossing over Hwy 54. Continue on Hwy 74 until you come to a traffic light at Rockaway Rd. Turn right onto Rockaway Road, which becomes Main Street. To learn more about Senoia, follow us on facebook at enjoysenoia.

Getting to St. Petersburg isn't hard to do. The city's major thoroughfare is I-275, which runs north and south and connects to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and Manatee County (another mecca for shoppers on the antique trail). I-275 also connects with 1-4 going east to Orlando from Tampa and I-75 heading north. U.S. 19 is an important north-south link that runs the length of the county. A visit to St. Petersburg will leave you want-ing more, no matter how long you stay. And it's easy to fan out and explore. Tampa — a city with it's own identity, cultural pulse and antiques and collectibles shops—is right next door. And Orlando, with its many theme parks, is a short drive away. Don't you think it's time to visit, vacation and shop in St. Petersburg? It's truly the Jewel of Florida's Gulf Coast!

Sarasota just may be the ultimate beach town, with its sun-kissed location on the Gulf of Mexico, more than 200 sunny days a year and an average year-round temperature of 71 degrees. But there are other reasons why Sarasota was named Best Small City to Live by Money Magazine. Sarasota County -- which includes Venice, Northport, Longboat and Siesta Keys -- is alive with culture, sports, affordable homes, a brisk job market and great schools.

Oh, and did we mention it’s a haven for antique lovers? There are 44 shops, and all of them are convenient to one another. Clustered along streets with names like Coconut, Pineapple and Palm, these stores make Sarasota a must-visit destination for antiquers just looking for that next great “find.” The Fruitville district is especially worth checking out.

Name This Famous Antique—Whose Face Is On The Currency?

By Mike McLeodWith the news that

Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, it is important to note that she will not be the first woman on U.S. currency. Martha Washington was the first; it is her famous face on the first $1 silver certificate issued and put into circulation in 1886. Antiquemoney.com reports there can be seven different

varieties of this note, with a red or brown seal and different signatures. It also values the note at $100-$600 for circulated notes and $1,000 and up for uncirculated. Martha also appeared on another bill; this time with husband George. They were featured on the back of an 1896 silver certificate that was part of an “Educational Series” of notes that depicted allegories. On the front of this bill was “History (in the form of a woman) instructing youth.” Other graphics in the series included: “Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture” on the $2 bill, and “Electricity as the Dominant Force in the World” on the $5 bill. Also of interest to currency collectors, the first $1 bill ever issued was in 1862, and it featured the image of Salmon P. Chase, President Abraham Lincoln’s Secretary of the Treasury. Antiquemoney.com values this bill at $500-$700 for lightly

Th e Sh o p s o f Jack s o n v i l l e , F la . It could be said that residents of Jacksonville, Florida are truly living large. It’s the largest city in the state of Florida by population, and the largest city by area in all the contiguous United States. The city was even named after a larger-than-life figure – Andrew Jackson who, before he became the seventh president of the United States, was the first military governor of the Florida Territory. Since the 19th century, Jacksonville has been a major military and civilian deep-water port, but tourism is hugely important to the city’s burgeoning economy. And with tourists come the retail shops that cater to them, and antique shops are not in short supply.

The four shops advertising below are representative of the quality and diversity visitors to Jacksonville will find when they hit the antique trail. Fans & Stoves Antique Mall, with over 35 dealers, is by no means limited to fans and stoves. The shop does feature fireplace accessories but it also has jewelry, collectibles, furniture and more. They’re located at 1059 Park Street. Southern Crossing Antique Mall, a short hop away at 2718 Park Street, boasts quality dealers in beautiful and friendly surroundings. Both shops are located in Jacksonville’s Historic Riverside. And B. Langston’s is unique in the city in that it holds auctions (at 1671 Atlantic Blvd.) and has a retail shop (at 6906 Beach Blvd.).

Fans & Stoves Antique Mall, with over 35 dealers, is by no means limited to fans and stoves. The shop does feature fireplace accessories but it also has jewelry, collectibles, furniture and more. They’re located at 1059 Park Street. Southern Crossing Antique Mall, a short hop away at 2718 Park Street, boasts quality dealers in beautiful and friendly surroundings. Both shops are located in Jacksonville’s Historic Riverside. And B. Langston’s is unique in the city in that it holds auctions (at 1671 Atlantic Blvd.) and has a retail shop (at 6906 Beach Blvd.).

circulated notes and $1,000 and possibly much more for uncirculated. The first and only Indian chief to be so honored on U.S. currency was Running Antelope (1821-1896), head chief of the Hunkpapa, part of the Lakota Tribe. He was a great orator and a counselor to Sitting Bull. He was featured on the 1899 $5 silver certificate. Other Federal Reserve Notes will be getting makeovers n the future. The New York Times reported that Alexander Hamilton will remain on the front of the $10 bill but to the back will be added portraits of suffragists Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul and Susan B. Anthony. Also, an image of a 1913 suffrage march to the Treasury building will be represented on the back.1 Lincoln will remain on the front of the $5 bill. To the back will be added Eleanor Roosevelt, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Marian Anderson, an African-American singer who was not allowed to sing at Constitution Hall because of segregation.2 Perhaps the rarest American currency is the 1890 $1,000 Treasury Note, commonly called the “Grand Watermelon note,” that sold for nearly $3.3 million in January 2016 at Heritage Auctions. The Grand Watermelon note

gets its nickname from the large, melon-shaped zeroes on the back.

Name This Famous PersonBy Mike McLeod By looking at this peaceful and dignified face, one would not think that such a person could be a master of the macabre. But then, you can’t tell a book by its cover. Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born on August 30, 1797 in London, and she married the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley in 186. She was the author of Frankenstein: or, The

Modern Prometheus, published in 1818. She also penned The Last Man, a story about a plague ravaging the world in 2092 wherein the survivors fight each other for food, eventually leaving one inhabitant. In the early 19th century, death was relatively common, as Mary experienced rather often. Her mother died soon after she was born, and she lost two children early in their lives. Her husband drowned when a storm sank his boat. Her half-sister committed suicide, as did her husband’s first wife. This is not to say these experiences were the cause for the creation of Frankenstein since only the loss of her mother and one child happened before she wrote it. Perhaps there was an influence, but Dr. Frankenstein and his monster arose from a parlor game when Mary and those on a vacation together (including her husband and poet Lord Byron) decided to each write a ghost story. Nothing came to Mary’s mind for a few days until the thought of reanimation arose. Frankenstein was a success, and it continues to be so in its many reincarnations. After the book came the movies: 1910, a short; 1931, the original movie; 1935, Bride of Frankenstein; 1939 and 1979, Son of Frankenstein; 1943, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man; 1948, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein; 1974, Young Frankenstein; 2004 a mini-series and a TV movie; 2014, I, Frankenstein; 2015, Victor Frankenstein;

and more—listchallenges.com lists 55 Frankenstein movies. Then the

Frankenstein movie posters followed. The Bride of Frankenstein one-sheet (27 x 41 inches) Style D sold for $334,600 in 2007. The Frankenstein poster from the 1931 movie, a huge three-sheet (41 x 78.5 inches), Style C, hit $358,500 in 2015—one of the highest prices ever paid for a movie poster. It was found in a boarded-over projection booth in the 1970s. Both sold at Heritage Auctions. Other original versions of the 1931 movie poster and lobby card sell for thousands of dollars. The book itself is very valuable. A first edition of Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus sold for $11,250 in 2014, also at Heritage Auctions. Mary Shelley died at the age of 53 from a brain tumor on February 1, 1851. But her story of a reanimated dead man lives on.

July 4, 1939: Lou Gehrig gave his “Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth” speech in Yankee Stadium. He was forced to retire because of ALS, the disease that would bear his name.

July 5, 2002: Baseball legend Ted Williams passed away. In April 2012, Hunt Auctions sold his memorabilia for $3.5 million. His 1949 American League Most Valuable Player Award plaque, .344 batting average, hit $260,000, and his 1957

Babe Ruth Sultan of Swat Award, earned with a batting average .388, rose to $200,000 (without 15% buyer’s premium).

July 13, 1942: The carpenter-turned-actor Harrison Ford was born. A screen-used bullwhip from Indiana Jones sold for $204,000 at Profiles in History in 2015.

July 23, 1962: Jackie Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, the first African American to enter that hallowed Hall. He was also the first to break the color barrier in baseball in the 20th century. Jackie Robinson’s Rawlings glove—said to have been used during the last three years of his career, including his 1955 World Series win and in the 1956 World Series in his last game—sold for $373,002 at Steiner Sports in 2013.

July 24, 1897: Amelia Earhart was born. In 1991, a sheet of aluminum believed to be a patch on her plane was found (news.discovery.com, 10/28/14). A pair of her goggles worn in 1932 in her solo flight across the Atlantic, the first woman to do so, was sold for $141,600 in 2009 at Profiles in History.

July 26, 1928: Film director Stanley Kubrick premiered and eventually produced classics: Spartacus, $60 million worldwide, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, $68.7 million total (the-numbers.com). In 2015, The Academy of Motion Picture

Arts and Sciences purchased 2001’s model Aries 1B Trans-Lunar Space Shuttle for $344,000 at a Premiere Props auction. Kubrick destroyed most of the props after the movie to prevent their being recycled into other movies (latimes.com, 3/29/15). However, he did not completely destroy HAL, the murderous master computer. Christie’s

sold one of the front panels that held the HAL 9000’s (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic) red camera eye for $27,615 in 2010. July 28, 1929: The birthday of First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. A signed Jacques Lowe photo of her sold for $1,000 at Heritage Auctions in 2015.

Nashville, Tennessee was founded in 1779 by a group of Overmountain Men and named after the American Revolutionary War hero Francis Nash, but today everybody knows it as Music City. The nice thing about Nashville is that it's a major city (the 4th largest in the Southeast and the 2nd largest in Tennessee, after Memphis), but it's small enough that you don't get that big-city, overwhelmed feeling. And that's good news for people who want to have fun in Nashville and enjoy its legendary honky-tonks, dive bars and dance halls, while being

mindful that it's also a great place to shop for antiques. GasLamp Antiques (and GasLamp Too) is one of the South's biggest and best places to find fine antiques and furnishings, artisan, industrial, mid-century, vintage, modern and more, all in more than an acre of climate-controlled space. The aptly-named Music City Treasure Chest is a large indoor flea market with over 6,000 square feet of antiques, collectibles, furniture, home décor, art and more. The recently opened Bits & Pieces Antique Boutique, at 402 Madison Street, features antiques, clothing,

ANTIQUES

by Deborah Abernethy and Mike McLeod $1,247 (41 bids, 7 bidders): 1922 TEXAS A&M University of Texas Football Pennant Clark Field. We are listing this estate-fresh, antique 1922 Texas A&M and University of Texas felt football game pennant. In fair-to-good, vintage, used condition free from tears, damages, or repairs. However, the felt is obviously stained and yellowed. Approximate maximum length is 39 inches and about 14 7/8 inches to its widest. (Photo: eBay seller lackeyant)

DBA: This is not a typical pennant, but a tribute to a game listing the teams involved, a date, and a place. There have been three Clark Fields with the best known being a baseball field operating from 1928 to 1975. Obviously with a 1922 date, this was the first Clark Field which was probably a multi-use athletic field. It is a University of Texas facility. The rivalry is so intense between these two schools that the other is mentioned in each school’s fight songs. The Aggies won this game, but overall the University of Texas has prevailed. This pennant shows the Aggies winning.

$1,961 (50 bids, 23 bidders): 1890s Oak Wood Wooden Zeno Penny One Cent Gumball Machine Vendo. This machine is in very good working condition and is also in very good cosmetic condition. It includes the key for the rear door. It has either been restored some time ago, or it is in very clean condition. Known for their very

beautiful carved logo and slogans on both wood sides as well as the front base, these machines are a must for the vending and gum machine collector. (Photo: eBay seller gypsiegirlz)

DBA: Considering the retail price for these early gumball machines, this one was a bargain. The first chewing gum was developed by Thomas Adams. Exiled Mexican President and General Santa Anna (yes, of the Alamo) brought with him lots of Mexican chicle, which he chewed. He sold the chicle to Thomas Adams who first intended to develop it as a rubber substitute which did not materialize because the chicle melted in the heat. His first gum machine was patented in 1871, and Adams began mass producing a chicle-based gum, the first being unflavored. In 1884, he made Black Jack gum and changed the shape from lumps to sticks. The first machine to dispense the round gumballs was not invented until 1907. This machine, although called a gumball machine, dispenses the stick form.


box and is unused, which makes it more valuable. From the box shown and the industry files, this lure dates from 1927. There are many fishing lure collectors, and this lure was a “find”. It

is likely to increase in value.----------------------- Deborah Abernethy is a certified appraiser with the International Association of Appraisers. She can be contacted at 404-262-2131 or [email protected]. Her website is www.expert-appraisers.com.

$1,439 (29 bids, 9 bidders): Obsolete Antique City of Toledo Chief of Police Badge. Measures approximately 2.75 x 2.25 inches across. The pin on the back is broken off. (Photo: eBay seller sisterkess) DBA: This badge is known as the “Fort Industry Design” and was first issued on July 1, 1909 and was worn until December 1925. Fort Industry was the first settlement in Toledo. These

badges were made of bronze with nickel plating. The patrolmen had badges with their numeral numerals, while command officers displayed their rank. This one says “Chief,” so that elevates it. I would guess that this one is probably headed for the Toledo Police Museum.

$1,500 (44 bids, 14 bidders): Vintage Heddon Dowagiac Made In Michigan Antique Lure And Box, Unused Condition. A vintage Heddon Dowagiac, Michigan, 142 antique fishing lure and box in unused condition. A beautiful lure which looks like as nice as when it came off of the store shelf in the 1920s. A very intricate, glass-eyed fishing lure with engraved propeller. White with red accents coloration. Quite the find. These are very old fishing artifacts. (Photo: eBay seller bluestarantiques) DBA: I believe the highest money paid for a fishing lure was $101,200 at auction. That lure was an 1853 Giant Haskell Minnow. The vintage Heddon Dowagiac sold had the original
