RED & WHITE GLOWURM IN WOOD BOX
Alfred Oliver and James Gruber were employed at a mental institution in Medical Lake, WA in about 1920 when they came up with lure-making as a therapy for the patients there. Within two years however, Oliver & Gruber were shut down by management, ending the short production run of this great and collectible bait. This example is in Excellent Minus or better condition, and it still has its wooden carrying case. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 4 - 3/4" Lure Dimensions: Box: 5" x 1 - 1/4" x 1 - 3/4".
