Museum Archive: Vintage Other Doll Fish Lipless, 1/2oz Silver / Green fishing lure #6233

A striking silver and green scale finish covers the 3 1/4" (8 cm) body of this lipless bait, identifying it as the Doll Fish model from the USA-based Doll Thompson company. Carrying the product code 6233, the lure weighs in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and is designed as a sinking, noisy attractor particularly effective for perch and zander. The hardware consists of two sturdy treble hooks attached to the belly and tail. This specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing the craftsmanship characteristic of vintage American tackle. Looking closely at the top view, the dark, flat back transitions smoothly into the textured green scales, which meet the bright silver belly. A small red accent near the gill plate and an orange eye provide focused points of contrast on the realistic fish-shaped profile.
