Need Held In Identifying Fred C Young Lures

[Joseph W Bradley Jr.]

I am writing this for some help in identifying Fred C. Lures original from Fakes. I have very little knowledge of fishing and came upon a Tackle box with 50 Lures in it. They were hunk neatly verticle iin the box and most of them were Big O and Mr. Fred Fishing lures. How would I Identify them from the fakes or reproductions. I am uploading pics of one. I have pics of the entire lot but will need to wait until tomorrow for them as I am writing this and am out of town now. These lure belonged to a gentleman who passed, and I purchased his storage bin. There were over 50 Fishing reels and tons of tackle. ut these were what caught my attention and I am asking for the Experts help in this. Thank you. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I would check out nflcc -- National Fishing Lure Collector's Club.  Online they can be found at https://nflcc.org.  I used to be a member about 15 or 20 years back.  Good place to get answers to these kind of questions, though I don't know if you have to be a member to post your question there.

So...I been looking at these...and I think they may be some of the earlier baits!

Watch this video and maybe even contact the guy in the video. @35:21 he talks about some of the baits being stamped Mr. Fred under the bill!
