How do I remove rust from the hooks on vintage fishing lures?
I am not going to use these vintage lures...I plan on selling them on Ebay. Wouldn't it be better to keep the original hooks that were on the lure then to replace them?
Well now, you want to sell vintage lures for a top dollar, and you are willing to destroy the evidence that makes them worth a collector's time and effort to id them as vintage?
Would you also want to redo Mona Lisa's smile?
How often do you go around shooting yourself in the foot?
Leave them as they are. Do not attempt to clean them, or replace anything on them, or try to repaint them, as they shall be worth more to the true collector if they are just properly taken care of in their original package, as the packaging is also valuable in combination with the item.
I take it that you have never seen an episode of "The Antique's Road Show" on PBS.
This applies to ALL items of antiquity!
If they are without packaging, buy a case to show them in, Use some type of an "E" glass to protect them from sun damage. Speak with professionals at a glass shop. Contact the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, (I believe it is located in Hayward, Wisconsin, if I am not mistaken.)
Good luck & Good fishing
