Stamped clearly into the brass on the reverse side is the patent number 2,542,606, marking the historical lineage of this American-made classic. The fish-shaped body measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) and carries a weight of 3/16 oz (4.5 g). On the front face, this specimen—identified by product code 19436—features detailed embossed scales, a defined gill plate, and a circular eye. A bronze-finished treble hook is attached to the tail section with a sturdy split ring, while the nose provides a clean line-tie hole for casting or trolling. Rated in 5/5 condition, the solid brass construction maintains a bright, reflective finish. The design's significance in the angling world is underscored by its 1952 introduction and its 2006 induction into Field & Stream’s "50 Greatest Lures of All Time" list.
