I'm not a fisherman so I know nothing about lures. I got these out my grandmothers house in about 1990. I had brought them home and stuck them in a closet and recently came across them.
They belonged to my grandfather who died in 1975. Is there any value in old lures like these.

There is a market, but the ones I've seen were unused, still in the package. You never know though. These are definitely old. I've been fishing almost 50 years and the only one of those I've ever used is the Jitterbug. I'd check eBay.
They are all dirty. I cleaned a few to see how they look.

Really neat, wonder why most of the hooks have been removed.

Given the condition they're in, not much if any. Mount them in a shadow box and have fond memories of Gramps.
I mounted a few on some pieces of driftwood.
I caught one of my biggest bass ever on a Hellbender the same color as the one in the picture.

Inherited several years ago. Did the same, they are still in the closet
Looks like Heddon lures were a favorite!
Would indeed make a nice display!

I don't think you'd get enough for them but you could always list em on here and see if the offer is above the sentimental value! I'd just hang 'em on some driftwood. and use them in a display.
