Subject: Vintage Lure Value


How much would a (1960's) Heddon Crazy Crawler 2150 in excellent condition without boxes be worth on average? Is there a wedsite to find values of vintage tackle?

Carl Lucky's book is pretty good. Is the lure wood or plastic? plastic does not pull the $$$ that wood lures do and the 60's not the best decade for vintage. I've got the book at home, I'll try to track it down for you.

Actually Lucky's is usually underpriced, sometimes substantially, when looking at older lures, Whites is closer on values, but they are kind of trend dependent, also.

2150's, which are the Musky crazy crawler size, are not common in any era, and are rare in excellent condition. You are probably looking at $75 minimum, but more likely higher than that, $100-150 range, and that includes most all paint schemes, if it is in EXCELLENT condition.

A good website for antique lures is Joes Old Lures, and if you can post a picture, you can probably get a pretty good appraisal and if you want to sell it, a good price. An e bay search will also give you a good idea. Please remember that excellent condition to a collector and to a "layman" might be two different things, and that flaws knock a lot of the value.

As a sidenote, I sold a red head/yellow musky crazy crawler 5 years ago for $65 and would describe it as fair condition at best, it was an older model year, which made up for some of the paint condition, but collectors really like the crazy crawlers.

The value of any bait is what someone is willing to pay for it. I seen a 1911 heddon plug with box sell for $92,000 a few years ago. That same plug in a book on vintage lures listed it's value at something like $2,500. Now the box made it worth more but still not that kind of money more! You just never know what someone will pay for a bait to complete their collection.

"PRICE is only an issue in the abscence of VALUE."

How do you find/create value for a lure like that ?
