ABBEY & IMBRIE THE OCTOPUS MINNOW IN BOX

ABBEY & IMBRIE THE OCTOPUS MINNOW IN BOX Extremely rare by any measure, this incredibly well-preserved combo is a museum-grade specimen. As with early Woods Expert’s, all the relationships between these early minnow makers and sellers are not fully understood. Probably dating to 1902 or 03, this minnow bears nearly identical characteristics to the Woods, Shaffer, and Harkauf Minnows of that era. It has perfect yellow glass eyes, non-perforated Wizard-style props, non-removable hooks, ring bearings, no solder on the line tie, 3 crude sets of HPGM, and two belly weights. Importantly, “OCTOPUS” is still emblazoned on the left flank, and the bait grades about Excellent Minus. The red label box is known by only a few specimens. It retains 98% of its paper label and grades strong Very Good Plus or better. Lure 3 - 1/2" L. Item Dimensions: Box: 5 - 3/4" x 2" x 1 - 1/2". Item Dimensions:
