Mystery lure

[Nuscani]

Mine I inherited off my grandfather about 55 years ago. He was was a trout fisherman which is usually what they were used for rigged like tassie devils sometimes with a wire and beads either side. I will talk to my brother in law he Lives in the uk and a big fisherman.

Thanks a lot mate. Let me know what your brother-in-law says :thumbsup:

It was a prop from remotely operated toy boat used to drop bait farther. The boat ventured out of range but the wind eventually blew it back to shore and it broke into pieces. You found the prop.

Nah mate, good guess though but it's a trout lure from the late 1800's and early 1900's

Maybe used to target Salmon way back when.

1800s eh? You are probably a little bit off. Have you considered it maybe from the jurassic era?

close, it's a lure first designed and manufactured in the late 1800's, but still produced today. So your lure could come from any time since then (but odds are, later rather than earlier).

Did it just magically appear at the start of the bronze age?

Pretty sure it didnt. That design of lure was first inveted by a devon man in the late 1800's, the bronze age was way before that :rofl:
