December 9, 2024 Fishing Lure
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/9/2024
Measuring 2 - 1/8" long and introduced in 1881, this rare bait was the only glass lure marketed by E. F. Pflueger. This bait has been found in multiple configurations, and notably, this one has no forward prop or fly and is rigged with a feather-dressed rear double hook. Additionally, the line tie is fitted with what looks like a turn-of-the-century, fisherman-added, Allcock’s style removable single hook. Condition is Excellent-, give or take, with traces of the red detail originally applied to the eyes and dorsal fin. An excellent representative example of a much-desired early American bait.
Condition: (Excellent-)
Item Dimensions: 2 - 1/8" length.
