3 - 3/4" Length. Flattened sides with a belly weight to help keep it upright, and fitted with a 1903 patent Worden prop. The bait utilizes formed brass through wire in both directions to hold the hooks and line. Piercing red glass eyes are flawless. Carved wooden tail similar to several other minnows done by turn of the century makers. Very early gold body paint with hand painted red and black accents rounds out this tremendous example, probably dating to 1910 or earlier.
Item Dimensions: 3 - 3/4" length.
