Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Wild Shiner, 1/2oz Silver fishing lure #21905

A distinctive 'S' stamp on the flank identifies this vintage Strike King Wild Shiner, a classic jerkbait originating from the USA. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), its silver chrome finish is textured with a fine scale pattern that has aged gracefully over time. This particular piece, logged under product code 21905, is outfitted with a trio of treble hooks and a clear plastic diving lip suited for traditional casting or trolling techniques. Small dark spots and light surface marks on the silver body are visible upon close inspection, which is common for an authentic vintage piece, resulting in an honest 4/5 condition rating. At a length of 4 3/4" (12 cm), the slender profile and prominent dark eyes give it a life-like appearance that reflects early Strike King design standards.
