From Riley Haskell of Painesville, Ohio, comes this extremely rare Haskell Minnow. Measuring nearly 4 3/4" in body length (5 5/8" overall), with fine embossed scale and fin detail, and signature Haskell "rat tail" line tie treatment. Stamping along the right side: RILEY HASKELL PAINESVILLE, O. PAT'D. SEP. 20.1859". This important early trolling minnow features the original forged double trailing hook assembly, freely spinning tail, and a rich, deep patina on the copper body and brass tail and fins. The workmanship and detail of the Haskell Minnow is unrivaled by any maker in the 150 plus years of American lure making. An extremely rare opportunity to own an exceptional example from this historically significant maker.
