My sister is an artist looking for older wooden fishing lures because she makes custom necklaces and bracelets and these tend to fit very well and people like them. She said that the best sized lures which she's seen are called "poppers," and the age of them doesn't matter too much but most wood lures are older.
Some of them on places like E-bay seem to be in very good condition and demand a higher price, but they don't need to be in good condition- in fact the weathered ones tend to look better. Where is a good place to find older wooden fishing lures that don't even need to be in good condition?
flea markets and yard sales. anywhere else is going to want to charge top dollar and many of these are worth up into the hundreds of dollars. there is considerable competition among lure collectors.
