Grubby; Previously Worked; Experienced Free Shipping! These wooden bait boxes are maritime history. They were used in 90lb crab pots for harvesting Dungeness crab in the rough waters off the coast of Washington & Oregon through the 1970's. Making these bait boxes was a coastal cottage industry started during the Great Depression. Youngsters would piece-meal these plywood boxes together in garages after the school day ended, earning extra money to help their families. Boxes were baited with sardines, or whatever bait the crabber chose to use, then hooked to the inside of the crab pot. Thousands of these hinged boxes were made but few exist today in working condition. Pictures are representative of the item you'll receive. Condition: These bait boxes were used for their intended purpose. They have had a rough life in the ocean, giving them their rustic appearance.
