Anybody happen to come across some Fresco Lures made in Melbourne early 60's
 
Arranging for photos from Outdoor Mag 1963, appear to be all metal lures.
 
I am positive there will be  some help ID some unknowns, as the lures are named  in the ad.
 
Regards John

John, yeah I have a few knocking around the collection. I particularly like fish shaped metal with the adjustable fins for making them spin either way.

I think (but don't take as gospel) they were part of the Sydenham stable

It appears Fresco bought Sydenham or vice versa
Although most, or all of mine are marked with the Sydenham name.
A time line 1963
 
I fine that the Scampi had a far bit of metal work put into it unless they were cast.
Interesting for the collector at least at this particular time only two colours available , handy
 to know.
 
Brad it appears you are right on the money
 
Thanks Barry I think the only one I have not got is the  Chameleon
 
Is there another marker making a complete Chameleon with two blade encased in the lure
I bided on a  couple recently , but missed out.
 
I put up the Tubby recently on LL, I thing that was all that was recorded on the lure. Have now acquired a magnifier eye piece to check the finer detail, will check it again.
 
So many makers/manufacturers have come and gone since the 60's /70's
 
Regards John

Tubby and Tak
Tubby has no reference to Sydenham where as Tak does.

Interesting ,I wonder if mine was made prior to the merger. The Tubby stamping/printing appears to be the same.

Could be the other way around John with Sydenham markings indicating earlier ones - I have found a few in Fresco packaging marked Sydenham too which have the stamping.
