Good grief...must have been sleepwalking when I posted those last two pics...got the description all screwed up! The top photo is a #718, a #700, a #2601, and a #900. The bottom photo is a #9402, a #9401, and a #4208.
                                                                                                              

Here is some of my collection:

welp, now I can't post pics...this site sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mo, did they change how ya post pics again? I tried using the img code in photobucket and you can see the results...At this point I do not know how to post pics here...geez!

Turnip, I am not using the IMG code here...I'm using HTML code. At photobucket, they offer both codes. You may have to add the option, but if I remember correctly, both options are already available.

This will be the third attempt...

It won't allow me to edit so that I can add text so this is the order of pics:

first pic is of the 4900 series Jointed Darter

second pic is of the 8000 CB Darter

the third pic is of the 2000 Creek Darter.

I have added to this collection and so I must up date these pics!

Wow turnip! A great bunch of darters...no "beaters"...they all look new. I only have two darters, a strawberry and a silver flash, but they are both NIB. I've got a long way to go to catch you!                                                                                                                                                                                           
                                                                            

I think you are fortunate to have a strawberry...They usually bring more than I am willing to pay, lol!

OK...here's one I don't think anyone has covered yet. The Creek Chub Injured Minnow. I always liked these guys, great fish catchers, probably why they've been around so long. This one is one of the older Glass eyed wood models, then came tack eyed wood, then finally plastic. The one pictured is the silver and red scale color.

Nice!

OK guys...here's one you won't see everyday. It's a "Gold Flash" Baby Pikie. It was never listed on any color chart I've seen...and they don't pop up very often. One story I've heard is they were made in 1949 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the California gold strike. Another story is that they are nothing more than a Silver Flash finish that has "yellowed". I have several Silver Flash CCBC lures, and none of them have the gold around the eyes...even the "yellowed" ones. What ever it is...it is rare...wish someone could post pics of another...I've only seen one besides this one.
                                                                  

I have run into several Darters & Pikies where the silver flash has yellowed...That being said, the Creek Chub company made many uncataloged patterns. All ya had to do was state your preference and purchase a minimum number. I have a green back Creek Darter that looks just like your Pikie. The best info I have states that it is very early model without the proper stabilizers to maintain color. LOL, when I first saw yours I thought wow, could I possibly have one of those...So, how hard could it be to find it in one of my books? Wrong!

Amber Flash is the rarest of the CCBCO colors. It was only listed in the catalog from 1959 - 1963. It was pictured on the Striper Strike in 1961 and 1963, but not listed on any particular lure. I am currently looking at a Jointed Pikie in Amber Flash, $300 - $350 collector value. I hope this helps ys, mo!

Turnip, can you post a pic of that "Amber Flash" jointed pikie? Maybe that's what I have here...don't know...I seem to remember seeing Amber Flash lures and they were like the Silver flashes...no glitter around the eyes. Notice how the gold around the eyes is brighter than the gold on the body...kinda like the difference between real gold and glitter. Now, with that in mind, here's another story I heard from a guy that has one of these. The gold around the eyes was just that...REAL GOLD...ground up from a real gold coin...and applied to about a dozen lures. They weren't sold to the public, but given to politicians in California, to celebrate that 100th anniversary I mentioned earlier. At any rate, whatever it is, it is RARE, and I only paid $15 for it!
                     

The following is a list of special observations on the production of CCBCO lures:

1906 - Creek Chub begins production of their first lure, the Wiggler.
1917 - There were now three lures in seven colors.
1919 - Patent received for scale pattern produced by spray painting through netting.
1920 - The Pikie was introduced and would become one of the most successful lures ever.
1921 - The classic Creek Chub box replaces the early "intro" boxes.
1924 - This year saw the introduction of 11 casting lures and eight fly rod baits. Five were gone by 1934. In contrast, four would last until the company sold in 1978; the rest would last at least 20 years.
1936 - Improved lip and thru-wire construction was introduced for heavy duty lures. This advancement would continue as a standard through 1978.
1939 - Another big year for new lures saw the introduction of 11 more lures and two fly rod baits. Three lasted less than ten years, but nine would last until the close of the company.
1942 - 1945 Limited production continued through WWII.
1946 - 1949 Post war demand was overwhelming. The catalogs ask fishermen not to order from the factory because they are so far behind. Supplies such as Mustad hooks were back ordered as much as two years. The 1947 catalog states the company was 18 months behind in orders.
1947 - 1949 Thirteen casting lures and one fly rod bait were stamped "Not Available" while the company concentrated on making the most popular baits. Some would return in 1950, some never returned.
1948 - After six years of war and post-war boom, CCBCO resumes introduction of new lures with the concave belly Midget Darter. (six years was a very long time for CCBCO to go without introducing a new lure) Many new lures would follow in the next few years.
1950 - The deep-diving lip is introduced on several lures.
1951 - Spinning lures were introduced, beginning a new era for the company.
1952 - The plastic top box is introduced on some lures. It would later become standard on all lures.
1953 - 1959 Motivated by success of the Striper Pikie (1950), 13 new saltwater baits were introduced, but only six found long term success.
1954 - This was the last year for fly rod baits.
1956 - Creek Chub begins mass production of plastic lures with the introduction of the Nikie.
1960 - The last totally wooden lure, the Giant Straight Pikie, was introduced.
1961 - Transition from glass eyes to tack eyes takes place.
1961 - The Pikie and Jointed Pikie are introduced in plastic. By 1964, 23 different wooden baits would be offered in plastic models.
1961 - Five new ultralight lures are introduced for ultralight spinning tackle.
1965 - Due to changing demand and a severe shortage of white cedar, only 12 different lures were produced in wood.
1967 - Wooden lures begin a comeback that would continue to 1978.
1975 - The last new lure, the Cheekie, is introduced.
1977 - After the summer vacation, the plant does not resume production.
1978 - The company is sold to the Lazy Ike Corporation and moved to Iowa.
1978 - The old Creek Chub building is torn down in Garrett, Indiana.

A [bcorrection] to the above info, 1989 the old Creek Chub building is torn down.

The site won't let me "edit" anything! Just like yesterday!

I am not sure that the 100 year anniversary is correct since the Pikie was only introduced in 1920... That would mean 2020, correct?

What happened to your pics? Not there!
