Some tough South Bend baits.  Notice the red and white Whirl Oreno with a factory installed Bings hook.  Circa 1938 - 39.

Truck and Whirl Oreno combinations.  Frog, Red and White and Butterfly.  Note the Bings hook on the one Red and White Whirl Oreno.  Came that way from the factory.  Supposedly the father of the son who had the bait ordered it from South Bend that way.  Came out of the fellows tackle box the way you see it and it has not been altered.  Any more out there?

Six very tough small counter display pieces.  Measure anywhere from 4 3/4 X 6 3/8.to 8 X 11 inches.

 

Set of three South Bend display pieces never used.  These piece as you can see are advertising everything from lures to lines to reels.  Date from around 1948 - 1953 based on the baits shown.
