19th Century Fishing Lures
|
A Collector's Guide to U.S. Lures Manufactured Prior to 1901...
The Industrial Revolution of the mid-nineteenth century ushered in the age of mass production. The advent of the drop press and other mechanical devices made it possible for the early American lure manufacturers to compete with what had been an English market. Begining in the mid to late 1800's, firms such as J. T. Buell, 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 history of America's earliest fishing lure manufacturers prior to 1901. This book is done in color and contains a list of current values.
