Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model B 4A, 1/4oz fishing lure #13947

At a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g), the compact body of this Bomber Model B 4A represents a classic era of American lure manufacturing. The paint work transitions from a brownish-orange back into golden-yellow sides that are marked with a dark green skeletal pattern over a scale texture. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the lure utilizes a clear plastic bill to reach depths of 3-7 ft (0.9-2.1 m) while casting or trolling for walleye and pike. Identified by product code 13947, this specimen is in 4/5 condition and features prominent red eyes with black pupils. It remains a floating model equipped with two sturdy treble hooks, maintaining the integrity of its original USA construction.
