The Charmer Minnow. Springfield, Missouri / c. 1910
The Charmer Minnow Company patented these distinctive lures in 1910 in Springfield, Missouri. A handful of rarer variations exist, though they are very hard to find. Among them are the Musky-sized Charmer and the Half-Charmer.
Built with cedar bodies and German silver hardware, they are prized by many early antique lure collectors. The unusual "Barber Pole" paint patterns have likely "charmed" more collectors than fish. These rank among my personal favorite old lures by far. You can see more of these cool early lures on my website by clicking the link below.
