That does look like one of the old bushwhacker color schemes even down to the nylon skirt but I don't think they go back quite that far. I am not sure if there is a local identification/appraisal company but I do know that Mr Barlow at Barlow's in Richardson does some collecting and sales of antique and vintage lures.

It is a vintage Bomber bushwhacker spinner bait made by bomber bait company in the 1960 and 70's..Was and still is a great spinner bait...if you can find them...you have a nice hard to find double wire blade.

Yes, they don't do much retail any more but still are doing a lot of online luremaking sales.
