Vintage G.M. Skinner 3 ( pat. Canada 1874), 3/16oz spinning lure #21633

A distinct teardrop-shaped blade, stamped with historical patent dates from 1874 in both the US and Canada, defines this specialized spinning piece from G.M. Skinner. Listed under product code 21633, this size 3 lure reflects a pivotal era in Canadian tackle manufacturing, weighing 3/16oz (5g) and measuring 3 1/2" (9cm). The fluted silver blade shows a partial red paint finish on its interior, while the outer face remains bright with legible maker stamps. Its hardware consists of a sturdy brass wire frame paired with a white feathered treble hook that is meticulously secured by red thread wrapping. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the metal components and feathers show light age while maintaining structural integrity. A built-in box swivel at the leading end of the wire frame ensures a reliable connection for the angler's line.
