Miller's Musky Surface Minnow
A very early and extremely rare musky lure by W.H. Miller of the Union Springs Specialty Co., measuring 5 3/8" in length and featuring a unique spear-shaped head, Miller's silver washered screw eye rigging seen on his earliest minnows, and finished in yellow with age-darkened gold spots. Purchased from the maker's son many years ago, this early teens bait pre-dates the Miller's Reversible Minnow, exhibiting uneven varnish and finish, and wear from decades of storage in Miller's tackle box. One of the largest of Miller's earliest lures and believed to be one-of-a-kind.
