Finished in a striking barred pattern with a red throat, this iconic American fishing lure remains one of the most collected and recognizable wooden lures of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1uef3h1\" data-start=\"401\" data-end=\"414\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"415\" data-end=\"798\"\u003eVery good vintage condition overall. The lure displays a crack extending from each eye, a common age-related issue with vintage wooden lures. There is slight chipping towards the \"tail\" end. The body retains strong color and presents beautifully. Hooks and hardware show rust oxidation and age-related patina. Original box and pamphlet are included and exhibit expected wear from storage and age. This piece appears as it it was not previously used but it's hard to tell. Please review all photos carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1h7nq73\" data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"816\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"838\"\u003eLength: Approx. 5.25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"860\"\u003eHeight: Approx. 2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"165cf71\" data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"896\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"897\" data-end=\"909\"\u003ePainted Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"925\"\u003eMetal Hardware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"hjidoy\" data-start=\"947\" data-end=\"957\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"979\" data-end=\"1003\"\u003eGarrett, Indiana, U.S.A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1j1ryrb\" data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1022\"\u003eStyling Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1218\"\u003eAn excellent piece for a fishing lodge, sporting collection, cabin display, or antique tackle showcase.
