I like the sharpie idea as well.
I've decided on multiple lures in a wooden box.
The box was made for a knife company as a knife display box. It's 5.75 inches long, 5.5 inches wide and 1.125 inches deep. It should nicely hold 4 or 5 lures.
The box is designed such that you can just tilt open the lid for display, or open the lid and pivot it around and the lid then acts like a display stand. JWHAP is going to finish the interior in felt.
It's not the fanciest box in the world but I think it looks pretty cool.
I'd ask you all if you like the box but frankly I don't really care because I've already bought the box.
I'd save the good box for the auction. As much as it's going to see the postal service, there's a chance that it will get damaged.
Good point, I hadn't though of that. Perhaps the lures will be shipped around in a plastic box and then the wooden box will go with the lures for the auction.
Hmmmmm, so darn many decisions.
