The Automatic Fish Hook, marked along one edge PAT PEND, complete with both of its original mirrors, excellent condition and in its original but fragile one piece cardboard box. Purported to date to 1915 there is very little information known in regards to this spring hook and it's maker other than what is offered on pages 126/127 of "Spring-Loaded Fish Hooks, Traps, & Lures" by Blauser and Mierzwa. Perhaps one of only a very few known examples with original box.
