Just a little info on your box and lure.
The Flatfish was made by the Helin Tackle co. Detroit, Michigan. The first patented date was Sept. 12, 1933. The lure was advertised as the worlds bestselling lure.
The South Bend lure you have looks to be a Oreno, made from 1916 to around 1960. Its hard to date because the photo does not show a close up of the
hardware.
Both the box and lure are in good condition and very collectible. A nice set for display.
I hope this helps.
