Here's a classic early Expert Wooden Minnow, likely made by Fred Keeling or F.C. Woods. It has four perfect patented detachable trebles, long hand-painted gills and "THE EXPERT" stenciled on on side. Sadly, the BAD NEWS is that is was overvarnished long ago by its angler-owner and is still mostly shrouded in the stuff, even around some of the hardware and props. I have opted not to attempt to remove it and will let the next owner decide whether to enjoy it as-is, or undertake the clean...up humself (herself?). Even in this condition, it is an interesting example of one of the classic wood lures from the golden age! (And those detachable trebles have good value by themselves!) This is from a recent field find - and yours for one winning bid. There is NO RESERVE. Please see detailed photos for condition. Postage is $5.50 in U.S. Please see my OTHER AUCTIONS as well, as I will combine postage and YOU PAY SHIPPING JUST ONCE NO MATTER HOW MANY ITEMS YOU WIN from these current auctions.Thanks for looking and please email with questions.
