This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/17/2025

From the Enterprise Manufacturing Co. (Pflueger) of Akron, OH, one of the single most historically significant American underwater minnows ever produced. This very early model, dating to 1900 or 1901 at the latest, features a crudely formed wooden tail, natural brown body with dark back, gold perch bars and silver belly with a fine hand painted gill mark on either side. This example has the original hardware and is uncleaned. It has wire rigged treble hooks, through body brass line tie and rear hook hanger, square shaped spinners, and large, blemish free glass eyes. Discovered in a tackle box in the Canton, OH area, this Excellent Minus condition example hasn’t changed in appearance in well over a century.

Item Dimensions: 3 - 3/4" length.
