JOHNSON AUTOMATIC STRIKER, 2 " SILVER SCALE MODEL, W - BUCK TAIL, -
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:46112184 | Brand: Johnson |
ALL OF THE JOHNSON AUTOMATIC STRIKERS HAVE A PAINT PROBLEM IN THAT THE PAINT EASILY FLAKES OFF. THIS LURE HAS AN UNDAMAGED LEFT SIDE WITH A SMALL PAINT CHIP LOSS AT THE RIGHT EYE AND TWO SMALL ONES AT THE BOTTOM AND ON THE TOP, IT ALSO HAS THE BUCK TAIL, WHICH IS USUALLY MISSING. NOT MANY OF THIS LURE WERE MADE BECAUSE THEY WERE SO INTRICATE TO MAKE. THE 1935 PRICE QUOTED ON THEIR LITERATURE IS $2.50 FOR THIS LURE...IN TODAY'S DOLLARS THAT WOULD BE $46.29 SO YOU ALMOST WOULD HAVE... TO TAKE OUT A LOAN TO BUY ONE. I GUESS JOHNSON NEVER HEARD OF THE K-I-S-S RULE. THIS IS A NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE LURE...THIS LURE IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THE 2" J.A.S. SERIES.
