My Kingfisher Mantis collection. Most have been signed and many by both Mike Shelton and Stu Pearce. I quite like these and the New England lures that come out of these makers. Showing in this lot are the early hand painted ones which predate the stamped pattern they changed to before going to plastic in the end. The bigger jointed ones top right are very early as well and probably my favorites out of them.

Nice collection.  I like the display method as well, hasn't thought of using netting. 

What else do you keep?

[whykickacatalong]

G'day, New England and Far North Coast lures are my area of collection. Also have a liking for Ray Whitmore's and Paul Kneller lures. Find that these more than keep me busy and the wallet slim    Garra, Newell, Lawson, Gidgee, Big River, Bills Bugs, Whitty's & A&B to name a few I like.
