Made by W.H. Miller of the Union Springs Specialty Co., this extremely rare lure dates from the teens, prior to the production of the Miller's Reversible Minnow. The uniquely shaped body measures 4 1/8" in length, is finished in yellow with gold hand painted spots, and is constructed with Miller's silver washered screw eye rigging seen on his earliest minnows. Purchased from the maker's son many years ago, along with the other Miller's lures offered in this auction, this important bait also exhibits areas of uneven varnish and finish, and has similar wear from decades of storage in Miller's tackle box. A historically significant NY lure - believed to be one-of-a-kind.
