CA. 1847 SOCKDOLAGER SPRING LOADED FISH HOOK.

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/6/2016

Patented by Job Johnson of Brooklyn, NY., this is the smallest unmarked and earliest 3” version of the Sockdolager as noted by its rectangular bar (vs. wire bar) used to hold and set the hook. This is the actual hook shown on pg. 22 of the Blauser /Mierzwa Fish Hooks, Traps & Lures ID & Value Guide.
