December 9 & 10, 2026 Fishing Lures
The live portion of this session begins on Wednesday, December 9, 2026.
Lot #1451:
KETCHUM’S FROG CASTING FRAME GANG IN PICTURE BOX
Manufactured by W.R Ketchum of Portage, WI and patented Oct 18, 1904. It would be tough to find a nicer boxed example of this bait, as it is doubtful the harness was ever used. The copper, nickel, and steel surfaces have all taken on that mellow patina you want to see on a vintage metal lure. The box is just as nice, with barely any wear. Both items get a full Excellent grade. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. Frame 4" L.
Item Dimensions: Box: 4 - 1/2" x 2 - 1/2" x 1".
