Old wooden fishing lures.

I was browsing ebay for 'old wooden fishing lures', hoping to pick up a few for restoration and repair, and came across a seller from the US who has a unique method of presentation. Points for trying I suppose, but someone needs to tell this young lady that good lures will sell themselves, she needn't have bothered getting all dressed up.

Obviously a very, err, considerate seller. There's nothing I hate more than images where there's more background space than product, especially when the images uploaded are too small to make the zoom function available....  o_O

A plain light coloured background is always a plus, she should have worn flesh toned knickers.

She could have chosen to be even more creative with her presentation of the 'old antique wooden oliver & gruber glowurm' lure, but thankfully did not.

eeeeewwwww,


 


I see no air quality control mentioned in the listings - What if she inadvertently ( or purposefully ) released a mist, fog, cloud, cyclone or worse - miasma.


 


Would these sharp spiky items be disinfected or at least cleansed before release?


I suppose the phrase " We don't know where they've been"does not apply:^O:^O
