Some vintage lures are worth plenty. I would be doing some research!

Thats called a airplane jig. There used for ice fishing and when jigged up and down they fly around in circles.

Not a direct match with yours having a single hook on tail but maybe closely related.
Check link for some ideas.

I don't think its very old because hooks rust away really fast.
