Thanks for the info. I haven’t seen this style of Game Guide. Will have to put it on my wish list.

I like this old timer, nice tack eyes, fairly early I think.

I thought it might be, but you're sure it's a Tillicum?

Here is a couple of different size Tillys with tack eyes,the paint has rubbed off on some of the eyes.From what I can tell it sure looks like your Plug could be a Tilly.

I don't have the box of the chinook plug. I would like to know who did make that. I want to know about that but unfortunately the plug doesn't come with the box..

I have seen quite a few chinook plugs over here in Washington, Believe they were made in Seattle. Not sure of the manufacturer.

 

[nootkaassassin]

I am thinking that Chinook was the manufacturing name.

Hey Paguy, I don’t have a copy of the plug (bible) Plugs from the Pacific Northwest, I guess this plug is not in it.

It is listed in Jim Lones book on salmon plugs.

Okay thanks, I noticed a while back you posted a picture and I recall seeing a book on your desk. Is this the book by Jim Lones?

 

[paguy]

No, The book from Jim Lone is from 1983 called salmon fishing plugs a history of wood salmon fishing plugs from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. There are several newer books out there on old salmon plugs.

Jim Lone co-authored another book in 2005 along with Mark Spogen titled "Salmon Plugs of the Pacific Northwest". It is an improved upon version of the earlier loose leaf books which only had hand drawn illustrations vs color pictures

Different rigging on the Seakings
plugs.Notice the Game Guide decal on the unrigged plug.It is a clone of the Seaking and I have no idea who made who. I found the unmarked plug in a Seaking box but is still a mystery to me.

Finally picked up a very rare 6" plastic Pearl Pink Louie Shovelnose in never fished condition complete with Seattle box, the commercial bar, hook rig and directions. The commercial bar packaging has never been opened. I keep telling myself, I am not a collector, but I just had to have it.
