Absolutely beautiful lures.  Such a sense of artistry in these older Carpenters.

The large black and silver one appears to be a Seafrog 70?

I am guessing that would make the other 3 in the 30-50 range?  I have never seen a Seafrog that small, but something for scale in the photo would be helpful.

You might find these have some value in the Japanese collector market but I certainly would not be selling them. Things of beauty for sure.

Carpenter time capsule!  ;D No fancy printer/plotter cut decals on these! Less is more, loving the little pink popper.

Cool pick up Jason, good luck with getting some info. Might pay to contact Tak, he could possibly get answers from Kenji san etc...
