Top one is a Mirror Lure from the USA, around in Aus until the late '80s. Bottom one is a ABU Shiner according to my old ABU Tight Lines books. Only made in 1972 & 73, 3 colours in 1/4, 3/7, 5/8 and 1 oz. It had a semi soft coating over it which used get coated with mildew for some reason as you can see in your photo. The Mirror Lure had a similar finish and used to do the same.

Hi Trevron,the bottom one I actualy found in one of my American lure books today and they called this one a ABU Luster { Sweden } circa 1960 so I would say that they probably have reproduced them,Ihave a ABU tight lines 70 which shows the shiner and unfortunately doesn't show the lure as clearly as the catalogue shows, the other give away is if you look at the photo there is a hole through the centre of the lure that for what ever had a brass pin in it the shiner doesn't actualy show this.Thank you for your comments,Trev and I would only guess that they have reproduced one
