Collector Tip
I've said this in some other tips but it is one of my favorites and worth repeating. Collect what you like! That's what makes this hobby fun. If we all collected the same exact thing it would be pretty boring.

Historical Notes from the 1961 Lazy Ike Catalog
I have to say I personally found this a really tough catalog to find and this is the only copy I have ever seen. I am sure there are lots out there and now that I have one, I will find a lot more. This lure has all of the classic hits you would expect. I love to see the tough to find "98" Ike, modeled after the Paul Bunyan "66" I am sure. These things are dynamite to fish if you even find some with some wear.
Below is the complete scanned 1961 Lazy Ike fishing lure catalog. Each page is shown in order so collectors and researchers can study the lure models, finishes, and tackle descriptions used by the Lazy Ike Corporation during this period.
NOTE: These pages had fold outs. I did not stich them together but you can get a good sense of what they look like folded out together.
