Description
Lido Lures were manufactured in New York around 1946 to 1949. This one is called a flaptail because of the metal "tail" at the back that flapped and attracted hungry fish, probably because it looked somewhat like a flashing bait fish. Frank Lovello, Bill Linzi and Joe Brooks founded Lido Lures.
Not much information is available (at least I can't find much), but here is a tad more:

Thanks, of course!, for the V/F, and isn't it amazing how the mind works to solve problems and challenges:>) And thanks for such a cute comment; I love how these guys (lures) can start a conversation.

I am developing a real passion for your lures floating on driftwood, so very beautiful Carol, to add to yours and Bobs, as a child I used to take a pin and curve it into a hook to catch little fish, it was usually pretty successful, I didn't know about lures then...

I do think of that, I would love to see how the hooks (and type of hooks) where attached. When i was a kid I would attach hooks to all sorts of objects to see how they fished. Beer can openers did well :))

I love these old lures (and say it so much people just roll their eyes). Do you ever think about the first person who decided to take a piece of wood, throw it into the sea with a string attached, pull it back to shore, and actually catch a fish? Who did that!!!!
