The Oldest Tackle Box Ever!?

[@michaelkessler6952]

Quick google shows it to be a Gilson tackle box, probably made by Charles L Smith as indicated by the tag on the inside of the box lid. Very cool piece of history there. Retro Bassin has done some videos with some of the people at the Florida antique fishing shows that would probably know all about the lures, and for sure that tackle box. Worth taking a look. He interviewd a guy that makes wooden boxes in that style to this day.
