Knowles Automatic Striker Pat. 3 Feb 27 1906 (antique lure)

[TheLittleMan]

It's been a while since I posted---perhaps Wisconsin winter had something to do with it?!

I unearthed this antique lure in amazingly good condition. All I can find about it from the interweb is this brief discussion about the Patent No.5 - Knowles Automatic Striker - LURELOVERS? Fishing Lure Community

Anyone out there know about antique lures? I appreciate any insights you can share!

Nice find clean it up and I’m sure the trout would hit it

On the old ones I dig, the iron hook is looong gone. Interesting piece.
