December 9, 2024 Fishing Lure
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/9/2024
Each 3” Length. Made in Ft. Wayne, Indiana in the 1920s, this pair demonstrates the different means of attaching the hooks used by the company. Both lures make use of a wire armature attached to the front & back axis points, which allows the body to rotate through the water due to the groves in the face. On the top example, the hooks are held in place inside coiled loops in the armature by the use of a pair of flexible wire clips. On the bottom bait, there are pins soldered into place. Both arrangements allow for the fisherman to change out broken hooks. Top lure is Excellent Minus / Excellent and bottom lure grades Excellent / Excellent Plus.
Item Dimensions: Each 3" Length.
