3 - 1/2" Length. CCBCo’s only commercially made ice fishing decoy and one of this company’s most valuable items overall. For years it was speculated that these were made from no. 1500 Injured Minnow bodies, but it has been confirmed that, in fact, these are made from no. 2100 Fintail Shiner bodies. This combo is correct in every way, the decoy itself exactly matching the 3 - 1/2” Fintail’s dimensions, as well as the as the correct (2110) marked box with period insert. Strong condition, with only a little flaking on the inserted metal fins of this late 1920s fish decoy earns it an Excellent Minus grade.
Item Dimensions: 3 - 1/2" length.
