Miscellaneous
companies are the smaller, low production, lure manufactures who may have only produced a
few lures. I collect in the earlier (pre-1940's) companies and in particular prefer the
very early (pre-1920) era. These lures are often referred to as "early or tough
miscellaneous" by collectors. This is where the highest prices
are found and absolutely the rarest of the rare. These are NOT
production lures, but more often than not...art work.
Collecting in this
rare area is an acquired taste, not unlike the taste one develops for unusual food or
drink. After collecting the major companies for three or four years, I gradually
migrated to the miscellaneous lures as I acquired more knowledge about the history of
these companies. I still like quality pieces, but I'm more forgiving about condition with
these earlier lures.
