WOLVERINE LURE AND TACKLE COMPANY - DETROIT, MI

Image
Some years ago I purchased a supply of fishing lures and an advertising sheet that was sent to  hardware and sporting supply stores. The company's name was Wolverine Lure and Tackle Company out of Detroit, MI. Virtually nothing is known about this company other than it was located at 700 Harper in Detroit. The sheet advertises 3 types of simple metal lures: No 1: 2" Casting Lure No 2: 3 1/4" Lake Trolling and Casting Lure No 3: 4 1/2" Musky-Lake Trout Lure They had a slogan "A Go-Getter". They packed them 12 to the shipping box. You could order them in a dull or bright chrome finish or a gold non-tarnish color. The lures have a hook on each side of the twisted metal that are fastened by a small screw and a nut. The lure itself is marked Wolverine Detroit and Pat. Pend.
