Need Help Identifying Antique Lure
« on: September 12, 2010, 11:35:57 PM »
Hey all, new here so I hope this is in the right place. I was given an antique lure by a very good family friend, and need help Identifying it. There is an imprint on the Steel Lip that Reads: Paw Paw. I did find some info on Paw Paw and it's former company name Moonlight, but I can't find out it's particular model or year of Manufacture.

Wow.. that is an oldie.  Looks like Moonlight was popular in the 20's.

1909 :     Started lure production using Moonlight name
1923 :    Acquistion of Silver Creek Novelty Works
1927 :    Transistion to Paw Paw name
1930's :    Painted tack eyes
1970 :    Acquired by Shakespeare

nice piece..

Thanks for the replies. This one will go nicely with my antique Crazy Crawler that was given to me as a birthday gift years back. Looks like I'm turning into an antique lure collector whether I like it or not...  ;D
