i will say the bill looks like a bomber, but if you look at the body, it is much fatter in design than a wood bomber.  i still have several wood bombers, and when held to the posted pic, they do not have as much of a bloated football body as the lure in question.  so, unless some of the very first wood bombers were different than the ones i have from the 60's, i am not sure what brand it is.  i wonder if it is possible that the wood has swelled up??

Think it may be one of the shorter baits. Those are a lot shorter and fatter. Pic of the line tie might clear an id up.

Most welcome. Check your line tie, if it is a Bomber it probably has "Luxon" stamped on it.

Yes sir line tie says LuXon on it and i also understand that since it has the brass bill it could be worth up to 35 bucks, depending on condition...

That one is pretty rough.

Yea i know it is ...it's just interesting to see the lures of old and to learn about some of the history behind some of them...thanks again.

Anyone wanna take a stab at this one?   It is wood and has no markings anywhere.   I'm guessing that it once had a skirt or something trailing it.  Kinda like a Moss Boss ?
