A regular visitor to the Noosa Resource Recovery Centre Gary Norris a few weeks ago discovered a treasure that could only have been the result of a lifetime of dedicated work to fishing.
“I purchased from Reviva a significant amount (about 1000) vintage handmade timber fishing lures,“ he said. “This is one man’s work over a lifetime.
“Handmade vintage wooden fishing lures are highly sought after and can fetch up to $90 each.“
Gary decided to bring the lures to Coolum Men’s shed where the men are working to have all the lures framed so they can be put on display.
Gary and the men want to know who made the astounding collection.
“It’s a remarkable collection and someone out there must know who made them, where and why,“ he said.
The only information he was able to obtain from Reviva was that they were from a deceased estate and the gentleman’s name was Bill.
If you know the origin of the lures please let us know. Email newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au
