Vintage Phillips Crippled Killer, 1/4oz fishing lure #23434

Measuring a compact 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) in length, this Phillips Crippled Killer represents a smaller, rarer profile in the world of vintage surface lures. A classic silver scale finish adorns the body, accented by a distinct dark spot on the flank and bright yellow eyes that remain remarkably clear. Dual propellers at the nose and tail are held in place by sturdy metal hardware, paired with two treble hooks intended for surface casting. This 1/4 oz (7 g) specimen from the USA features the original screw-eye construction typical of mid-century manufacturing for product code 23434. The painted surface shows only minor signs of use near the hook hangers, reflecting a well-maintained condition of 4/5.
