Description
Patented in 1905, it is believed this extremely rare Manitou Minnow was the result of a special order for a "solid red" finish. With blemish free yellow glass eyes, three internal belly weights, rotating wire through construction and unique tail hook hardware, condition on this important bait is VG/VG+ due to paint missing on the belly weights, general wear/rubs, a few hook marks and age lines. With the exception of an old photocopied label this correct 2pc cardboard box grades about Ex-, retaining its brass wrench and crisp illustrated fold-out paper with just a couple of age spots and slightly age darkened overall. Only a few Manitou Minnows in this rare color are known, making this a centerpiece combination for even the most advanced Indiana collection.
