Hint.... One of the men manufactured and sold duck decoys and duck calls that are highly prized by collectors.

That would be William F. Harlow.

Mechanical and Spring-Loaded Collectible Antique Fishing Lures

E-Z WAY Bass Bait This is unquestionably one of the most elaborate--and potentially dangerous--lures ever manufactured. Made around 1913-1915, it features a grooved tail into which a spring-loaded double hook contraption is attached. The hooks, when set, make the lure weedless, but when the trigger mechanism releases the barbs, spring open several inches. The flyer inside its box starts out with some important advice: "Look Out!-¿ The makers included William F. Harlow, a well-known outdoorsman and pattern maker for the Worley Stove Manufacturing Co. of Newark, Ohio, a riverfront town about 35 miles east of Columbus. Harlow also manufactured and sold duck decoys and duck calls around 1900 and his products are highly sought after by collectors of waterfowl memorabilia.
Value: $200-$300

Interesting stuff.

OK...Superdave336 nailed it right off and some others got it also. It was William F. Harlow and Johnny Steinbaugh from Newark, Ohio. The bait was the E-Z Way Bass Bait. It says Patent Pending on the box but I can find no info of ever getting a patent. Harlow was a pattern maker for a Stove Company and Steinbaugh family owned a Sporting Goods Store in Newark. Thats really all I can find out about them.
Hope you enjoyed todays trivia as much as I did...See you next Monday Morning.
