OLD FISHING LURE EUREKA BAIT,COLDWATER,MI.(FINCH 5 HOOK

THIS FINCH WITH IT'S LARGE ROUNDED BLADES AND IT'S TEARDROP SHAPED HOOK CUPS MAKES FOR A RUSTIC LOOKING BAIT.   HOOKS ARE PINNED-IN. WHAT A GREAT OLD BAIT FROM AROUND 1914.

MADE BY THE EUREKA BAIT COMPANY IN COLDWATER , MICHIGAN.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE OF THESE IN YOUR FIVE HOOKER COLLECTION THEN HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.

ONE BARB IS MISSING FROM ONE OF THE FRONT HOOKS (REPAIRABLE) THIS IS A GREEN PATTERN. THE PAINT IS CRACKED AND FLAKED OFF IN SOME PLACES BUT THAT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY ON THESE RUSTIC NEARLY 100 YEAR OLD BAITS.  

NOTE :   I PARTICULARLY LIKE THESE VERSIONS OF HOOK CUPS WHERE THE HOOKS ARE PINNED-IN THEY JUST SHOUT OUT OLD HAND-MADE CRAFTSMANSHIP TO ME . NO MACHINE JUST AN EXPERT LURE MAKER IN HIS SHOP HAND CRAFTING THESE LURES WITH NO TWO THE SAME . THESE PINS WERE MORE THAN LIKELY APPLIED BY HAND.

GOOD LUCK AND THANKS !
