Last seen offered back in the days of Oliver's Auction, this lot of early painted folk art baits consists of 30magnificently painted bass and musky baits! With the exception of a few pieces, this collection has remained in its entirety! Sizes ranging from 2-3/4" to 6-1/4", these wood body baits feature large through wire construction with oversized treble hooks, large props, and striped paint finishes. Condition, on most, could be considered rough, with chipping and wear to wood and missing components, but as a collection, they are a fabulous catalogue of a very imaginative bait maker's works! Wood and glass display included.
