SEASONAL RESPITE CARE
If you are considering ordering my lures please be aware. I am an artist and work on my time. In the fall and winter of the year (November 15th to May 15th) I go into solitary retreat to renew my psyche. During this time Heirloom Lures will be unable to fill online orders. I will fill all orders placed before November 15th. In the spring , May 15th , I will renew filling online orders.
Thank you for your understanding.

THE BASS-ORENO
This classic lure was patented by J.S. Olds in 1915. It was produced in over 45 colors and in great volume by The South Bend Bait Company of South Bend, Indiana between 1916 and 1964. A very common lure, its current value is about $20.00. The red, white and blue Bass-Oreno though, is different.
During the depression the company made a special, limited edition - a red, white and blue Bass-Oreno, which it gave away for free as a patriotic gesture if you bought a U.S. Savings bond
The current value is about $1500 - but only in this color pattern and because of this story!
The term "oreno" by the way was used in the mid 1900's to describe something unique like a beautiful woman or auto.
