Miscellaneous Companies Fishing Lure and Box Index
An index of information on super rare early miscellaneous fishing lures

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.
