WD Chapman Brockville Ontario Lure Ad
This great WD Chapman Brockville Ontario Lure Ad comes to us from 1883. While this antique lure ad shows the WD Chapman Allure bait. The ad also gives us some other clues to putting together another of the Antique Fishing Lure Puzzles. We see that it uses the name WD Chapman & Son, indicating that his son Byron Chapman was with the company. Byron actually had been for some time by now. Byron was not only a employee of his fathers company at points but he was also the town Supervisor of Theresa, NY. What we find is the most important feature is that it shows Brockville, Ontario as well as Theresa, NY for factory locations. This Forrest and Stream ad from 1883 helps us so that when we see a antique Chapman fishing lure marked with Brockville we know it dates to 1883 and before.
