A solid green finish defines this 3/16 oz (6 g) blade lure, a classic example of American tackle design. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.8 cm), the Cotton Cordell Gay Blade, identified by product code 6608, features a distinctive flat plane on its forehead designed to generate consistent vibrations. Curators will notice the dual attachment points on the dorsal ridge; these holes allow an angler to adjust water resistance. Positioning the snap in the forward hole reduces resistance for a faster retrieve, while the rear hole increases it for a different presentation. This USA-made specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint with only minor, soft wear along the lower edges. It retains its original hardware, featuring two sharp treble hooks securely attached to the weighted metal body.
