Geeze, now I feel old! I still have most of those plugs!! One thing I don't see in your box though, a 'Du-Dad'. Made by Crème, the Du-Dad was the pre-cursor to the Arbogast Jitterbug. in the '60's my Father and I used to fish Colliers Mills on summer Sat nights, surface plugging for bass. He only had 2 Du-Dads left in his box and he wouldn't share since they were out of production and no longer available anywhere, so I was relegated to using my lowly Jitterbugs. He would out fish me 2 to 1 every time! In a bit later years when he had more confidence in my abilities to not lose a plug to obstacles I was allowed to use a Du-Dad and we tried numerous times to compare results. Every time the Du-Dad would out fish the jitterbug, no matter which of us used what! Man I would love to find just one of those plugs today, just to have one in memory of my Father!

Update! Just found one one Ebay! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-6-Vi...QAAOSwT-9aiiSS
