Museum Archive: Vintage Other AC Shiner 375, 3/16oz gold fishing lure #19006

A weight of 3/16 oz (6 g) makes this slender wood lure a classic choice for light-tackle enthusiasts seeking a traditional minnow profile. This AC Shiner 375, cataloged as product code 19006, measures 3 1/2" (9 cm) and originates from the United States. Its gold metallic finish is complemented by a dark charcoal back and a white belly, a color scheme designed to mimic natural forage. The large yellow eyes with dark pupils are a signature aesthetic of the brand, positioned just above a clear, angled diving lip. This particular specimen is rated at a 2/5 condition, showing visible signs of its history through fine cracks in the finish and some wear on the metallic surface. The belly and tail are equipped with two treble hooks secured by classic screw-eye hardware. A small touch of red paint is visible near the chin, adding a bit of contrast to the head's dark upper section.
