Perhaps the rarest bait in this entire offering, is this c1912 Wiggle Tail Minnow from Detroit, MI. Currently three known examples, this one is in excellent/excellent+ condition with bright hardware, blemish free yellow glass eyes, and crisp green/whitefinish. 3" wood body is accented by through wire hardware and an unmarked front spinner. The c1912 advertisement reads: "The Wiggle Tail Minnow is the only artificial minnow that faithfully reproduces the motions of a live one. Tail always in motion. Better than live minnows because its always "alive". Costs less. No trouble. Lasts for years. Get one quick. $1 postpaid and money back if not satisfied"…….we'll take a dozen, please.
