Vintage G.M. Skinner 4 ( pat. Canada 1874), 1/4oz nickel/red spinning lure #24225

A light 1/4oz (7g) weight characterizes this G.M. Skinner 4, a design that traces its lineage back to a Canadian patent from 1874. The nickel-finished blade is elegantly fluted to catch light and features the iconic manufacturer stamping indicating its origins in Clayton, N.Y. Stretching 4" (10cm) in total length, the assembly is anchored by a vibrant orange-red feather-dressed hook that adds a splash of color to the metallic profile. The brass wire hardware and swivel are remarkably clean, earning this rarity a 5/5 condition rating. Cataloged as product code 24225, the lure demonstrates the precision of early North American tackle manufacturing through its distinct fluting and robust construction.
