Description
This is an antique/vintage saltwater fishing lure called a Masterlure Jointed Eel. Masterlure made these old, wooden plugs in Brooklyn, N.Y from approx. 1947-1953. Now they are collector items for folks who love old fishing tackle.
This card is designed for the family that fishes the oceans. The wooden lures were used for game fish such as Striped Bass and Bluefish. This one shows it's age - a battered old warrior who saw many battles, won quite a few )I imagine), and lived to tell the tale. It's kind if a parable on life:>)
This is a combination of two of my original photographs and a texture layer from Shadowhouse Creations.

I can just see this one (or its cousin) in my later father's fishing box. What a great idea for an anniversary card! F/L++
