I am looking for info on Dewey Hunt. He made fishing lures in Watertown part time beginning in 1954, full time after 1961. These old lures are becoming collectible.Lots of questions I need answered. Where did he live on Main st.? What was his connection with the American Hardware Co? How long did he make lures? Are there any old photos out there?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the response. We know that Dewey bought a Gas station in Watertown in 1954. He refined his lures and sold them from his station. After his patent was accepted in 1961, he started making lures full time. I have found samples of all lures in the box catalog except for the Enticers with Dots. I really need old pictures! Thanks for your help.
