December 9, 2024 Fishing Lure
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/9/2024
Discovered originally among a large field find of predominantly pre-1900 Pflueger metal lures, this great early minnow seems to be either inspired – or takes its inspiration from – the Pflueger Wizard and/or The North Channel Minnow. There was another matching lure in the original find, so this bait has its twin out there somewhere. Brass wired through in both directions with a red glass bead spacer at the front, and two clear ones at the rear. Wizard-style props and large yellow painted thumbtack eyes. Black back, aluminum belly with a pair of hand-painted gills. Condition is about Very Good or better on this important 3 - 1/2” bait.
Item Dimensions: 3 - 1/2" length.
