VERY DESIRABLE CONDITION & COLOR
REALLY NEAT!
I am selling the best of my Great-Grandfather’s Creek Chub Bait Co. antiques. This is a great, hard-to-find style of freshwater fishing crankbait – having been stored decades. The original colors are still bright red wings with yellow body and torso, and jet black dots and black lined detailing.
This is a must have, excellent addition (or start) to a sport fishing lure collection.
MARKINGS Metal 2-step lip is impressed with maker’s ‘9-7-20’ patent date and the ‘C.C.B.CO. Garrett Ind.’ name and location.
