Below are “VINTAGE DEVON MINNOWS”, all from my Vintage Fishing Collections (unless noted otherwise).

At my discretion, Devons with special or exceptional qualities may be listed at the very top of the overall list below, but after that, most Devons in my collection will be grouped together in alphabetic order from “A” to “Z” (top to bottom) using either the lure maker’s common or last name, and/or where appropriate, the commonly known name or style for a given lure …….. Because the lure name and/or maker’s name is UKNOWN (U/K) or UNIDENTIFIED (U/I) in many cases, these lures will be listed in loosely random order within a grouping for UNKNOWN or UNIDENTIFIED Devons that follows lure groupings for known makers or known lure names.

……….  Just “left-click” on any image to expand it for better viewing & then “left-click” on the arrows at the right or left side of the expanded image to scroll (in order) down or up (respectively) through the list of images. …. Or, you can use the “Search Box” to search for a particular lure or maker etc.

This list is a just a start for the many Devons in my collection, with lots more to be added as time allows:
