Found this and dont know what it is

[Toadie]

I found this fish in an old house me and my dad were tearing down when I was 16. That was 20 yrs ago. Dont know if it is an old lure or what.. Any ideal? it use to have an eyelet at the nose of the fish and it broke off a while back (in my defense it was almost broke off when I found it)

YES, It is an old fishing lure and it was made by Berkley Co. in the early 40's. It's called "The Silver Minnow". All of the eyelets located at the bottom were for ajustable hooks...You could use 1-2-3 or so on..sometime singles mostly treble hooks. The eyelet at the nose was used for tying on the lure which I suppose you knew already...Nice little find for the lure collector....PAPPY
