RARE 1920s FRANK KOEPKE Type Lure ALL BRASS
Item History & Price
Company went out of business around the depression years. i remember like 10 years ago someone came across a couple big boxes of Franks lures at an estate sale in Washington. Most were unfinished or either never had any hooks on them. They were going around ebay for a while till they were gone. some sold in pairs. I think there was another company way back in the days around same time that also made brass lures. Cant remember the name. This looks totally KOEPKE to me. Later one a...fter his 1922 patents. smaller version top water with a medium diving lip on it.
Lure is sealed top water floater with medium depth diving lip and is 3" 3/4 in length.
before and after pictures. Had bad looking patina on it so i polished it off and now its ready for some new patina. give this couple years and it will look nice.
Book pictures of ID and value are from 2006.
They just don't make these original lures no more. All original, GUARANTEED Authentic.

Some of the pictures are with flash and some not because I think the flash kinda takes away from the color of the lures. Dont forget these are close up pictures and show everything that usually you cant see just looking at the lure in your hand. Some of the pictures are with flash and some not because I think the flash kinda takes away from the color of the lures. The body of the lure will be wrapped in toilet paper(not the hooks) and then bubble wrap and boxed I do combine shipping or ship for one shipping price. Look at last picture, shows book ID & value
