C-900 Devels Horse PA Scooter16 viewsThis is very unusual. Have seen a picture of a Dancer like this. I have never seen another PA Scooter like this. The Pa Scooter has a 4" wood body which is flat on the bottom. It has one small rounded spinner on the rear. It has two hooks. It has factory installed rubber strands placed through the middle creating legs. Very Rare.

F-200 Devel Horse - Serpentine10 viewsHere is an old F-200 Devel Horse in a non-catalogued color. It is Ivory with the Black Wave line on the sides. Snake or Serpentine pattern. It has the split ring on the line tie and has the older heaver hook hanger. These were produced in limited quantities sometime during 1951? - 1955. I have only seen one other lure in this color. Another collector has a King Snipe in this same color. VERY RARE (sometime between 1956 - 1962 they produced in limited quantites a un-charted serpentine style color - Yellow with a Green wavey line on the sides).Jun 12, 2010

Color Progression16 viewsI believe that all three of these lures are in the color - Chinkapin Bream. The top one is the most current. The King Snipe would be from the early 1950's and the Pa Scooter on the bottom even eariler than that.Apr 06, 2010

Unknown - F-20011 viewsThis is an F-200 body with large pointy spinners on both ends. It has 3 hooks. It is not stamped. It has the elastic legs just above the eyes. They drilled a hole through the boby and inserted the elastic. Only one other lure like this is know to exist. It is shown in Adrien Delbasty's book on Louisiana's Lure Companies. I do have a PA Scooter which also has the elastic legs.Apr 05, 2010

2 Prototypes84 viewsAs far as I know these two prototypes never made it to regular production. In the picture we have from top to bottom: Top left B-3000 Bo Jack prototype with and extended bill. The short bill made it into production but this long bill version did not. Next is top right a prototype CD 1000 Rattlin Balsa Jack with an extended bill. The short bill made it into production and the long bill did not. Last one is on the bottom and it is a standard production CC-1000 Rattlin Balsa Jack. It is smaller in size and has the regular short bill. I show it so you can see the difference in the size of the bill. The two Balsa Jacks are different sizes but that was all I had to show the difference in the length of the regular bill and the extended bill of the prototypes. Jan 29, 2009

My Pet - Buck N Bawl Jr. ?86 viewsThis is an old lure which has the heavier hardware and pointed spinners front and rear. The wood body is 2" long and has the shape of the Buck n Bawl Jr. You can see a name stamped on it. You can see ..My Pet - ... and with a maginfying glass you can just make out...Pet... So, we have a lure either incorrectly stamped or correctly stamped. It is gold scale color.May 24, 2008

It has the older hardware and a spinner on the rear. It has several holes in it where they tried different positions for the hardware to see how it changes the action in the water. The lip has a different curve to it than the latter Wood Chugs. May 24, 2008
