Table of Contents
Beginning in the mid to late 1800s, firms such as J.T. Buel, W.D. Chapman, and the Enterprise Manufacturing Company produced lures that rivaled their overseas counterparts both in quantity and quality. This book provides a written and visual history of these and many other American lure companies. Collectors will enjoy this complete history of several of America's earliest fishing lure manufacturers prior to 1901.
PUBLISHER'S REVIEW
The material in this book is a combination of photographs, catalog illustrations, and where available, a patent drawing of the lure. The major companies are arranged in a loose chronological order determined by the date of their first patent. The information in the book will help readers better understand the beginnings of the lure industry and give readers a better appreciation of the craftsmanship.
