Museum Archive: Vintage Creek Chub 933 Baby Pikie Glass Eyes , 1/2oz Pike fishing lure #22011

Golden scale patterns across the wooden flanks distinguish this Pike-colored rarity, a hallmark of the production era spanning the 1920s through the 1950s. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) with a body length of 3 1/4" (8 cm), the Creek Chub 933 Baby Pikie Glass Eyes (Product Code: 22011) is a floating model meticulously carved from wood. The specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing soft signs of age on the dark green finish near the head and back that lend it an authentic, well-preserved character. Deeply set glass eyes give the lure a lifelike appearance, a sought-after feature for collectors that predates the later move to painted eyes. A distinct metal diving lip is fitted to the front alongside a red-brown shaded chin, while the hardware holds two original-style treble hooks. This American-made lure remains a quintessential example of early 20th-century tackle manufacturing, from the scale-stenciled sides to the sturdy line tie assembly.
