HEy Dick naw the value of these lures is not hurt by opening the boxes cause the boxes were never sealed back then like they are today. Besides it is priceless to me and not for sale anyway......

Oh yes John they made small ones that were jointed in lots of sizes up to Pike etc. the smaller ones were called Panfish models. I'll post a pic of a few of em for ya.

HEY MR. BARNARD, there is a fella on here by the name of EARL W. STORY and he is apparently a wiz at these old motors. He just posted a video on here the other day with an old one he got running and it runs like a new one . You might want to contact him ........

Awesome Tooty and mint as can be. Never open it it would be ashamed to degrade the lure or price just by opening it.

I remember those MirrO Lure's Tooty but never recall owning one .They made jointed ones too didn't they ? Those are great looking Mouse baits ,never had them either.

THIS IS MY ALTIME FAVORITE LURE , COLLECTOR TYPE ANYWAY.....

L&S MINNOW , MODEL 20 SINKER, 2M 18 COLOR WHICH IS " YELLOW FLASH" ..... NEVER have used one of these cause they are so rare to find mint in the box with a mint box just can't bring myself to use it when I have so many others to choose from. I believe they quit making boxes like this late 50's.
   Great little lure outta my collection and to me is priceless. Yup they probably made millions of these but trying to  find one is like Hens Teeth. .......
    I don't believe this one ever saw water because it doesn't have the familiar milky white coating all L&S get after being in the water just once.
    This one will never see water .................................

THESE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE VINTAGE LURES , THE SHAPKESPEARE MOUSE WAS MADE FOR AT LEAST 30 YEARS . A GREAT BAIT to be sure and used to use em when I was still a bass fisherman. I would reel em just fast enough so the head would be underneath the water and the butt sticking up in the air leaving a little wake behind it . BBBBBBam a bass would almost always hit when I would quit reeling it after a short retrive and then let it sit motionless .......... These are all wood ones from the top two in Checkerboard boxes 50's models, middle two from Marty's in Wisconsin or Minnesota , can't remember which state now. Marty was a sporting goods and boat motor dealer up north and had his own model made custom by Shakespeare as a promotional item for sale. The bottom two red & whites are the small size also in wood 60's lures. The black at right is a 70's HONG KONG made for Shakespeare and this is the first type of mouse I used and still use today still. Have my original one still and have been looking for a replacement for YYYYYYYYYYYYears for it and finally found a mint one with no cracks in paint.
   THESE LURES BRING BACK MANY MEMORIES FOR ME AND THOUGHT I'D SHARE EM WITH ANYONE WHO LIKES THE VINTAGE STUFF....
