“Lorne Hirsch remembers the day he paid $150 for a tackle box at a yard sale. He wanted one old lure from the stuff. Under it all, he found a folding hunting knife made by Marbles Arms Company in Gladstone, Mich., at the turn of the century.
”I sold it on eBay,” the California collector said. ‘It moved up to $1,300. Then in the last 60 seconds, it sold for $2,350.”
His story shows how the romance of seeking sporting collectibles is colliding with the modern world of the Internet and eBay.”
