Default Old Hardy lures

I am interested to hear if these lures are of any value? There were amongst a box of old tackle that was donated to a good cause.

Exclamation Can't speak for your side of the Pond ...

But on mine? OOOOOOH YAAAAAAA BABY!

That said, and closer to home, there's an excellent 'Vintage Tackle' site in the UK that sells exactly this type of 'stuff.' No idea if the 'lot, as a lot' would bring more $$$ but I suspect so.

If these are in good condition, which they appear to be (boxes included, which add significantly to value), you've got a GOLD MINE on your hands.

Thanks Fred,

I have had a look round some of the vintage tackle sites and these lures can fetch good prices.

There were also a few fly boxes including a Hardy Neroda tortiseshell trout fly box. Not sure whether to use ebay or ask on of the dealers for a quote.

Fellow (a few months back) was looking for just the same as above. Ended up paying close to $300.00 USD for one in pristine condition.
