Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber, 1/4oz fishing lure #12475

Yellow paint with distinct black chevrons covers this wooden body, representing a classic era of American lure production. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) and weighing 1/4oz (7g), this Bomber model carries product code 12475 and originates from the 1949-1970 manufacturing period. The finish shows fine, visible cracking across the yellow and black sections, earning it a 4/5 condition rating while preserving its authentic vintage appearance. A striking orange eye with a black center is positioned on the dark-painted head section, providing a high-contrast focal point for species like pike, perch, and asp. This floating lure is designed to reach depths of 6.5ft (2.0 m) when retrieved. Its hardware consists of two belly-mounted treble hooks and a metal line-attachment assembly secured to the rear.
