I purchased these lures from a collector some time ago. I have no idea of when they were made, where they were made, or the maker. However, I had to have these lures to add them to my “Duck Lures” collection.
I would consider these “folk art”. They were made, I believe, to actually fish with. I suspect they are not too old – I would say 1970s or newer? They are carved out of wood and I think they would catch a fish off the surface if used.
