4 - 1/4” length. Considered to be the very first commercially-made, jointed minnow, these made their debut in 1907. This example comes in the visually-appealing red belly, black back finish and is in Very Good Plus / Excellent Minus condition. There are a few flakes here and there, and the nose weight still retains almost all of its original finish. All 3 factory-blackened double hooks appear original, and all 3 mooring pins are still intact. Both egg yolk glass eyes are blemish-free. Machine-stamped metal forked tail is still firmly locked into place.
Item Dimensions: 4 - 1/4" length.
