Shakespeare PAD-LER Mouse . . . Pre Patent Wooden

[MXB]

For all you Shakespeare Lure fans . . . . check this one out;

A very old Mouse . . . I love it and think it looks abit like a seal!! No idea of exact age but 40's/50's would probably be the ball park.

Anyone??

Roger .The paddler first came out in 1936 and came in three sizes yours is missing the double hook thou the one i seen has a treble with one of the hooks extened beyond the other two..The Musky size is worth the most $500 -$700. Catch ya

The three sizes were 2 7/8 '' ,3 1/4'' and 3 3/4'' that collectors value was in yank dollars by the way .About that treble what i'm trying to say is one leg of the treble hook is longer than the other two legs hope this helps .Catch ya

Excellent . . . . its the big one or maybe the mid sized . . . I always quote US$ on this sort of stuff

Paid less than AU$100 . . . Lucky boy

Cheers mate and I get what you are saying about the hooks . . . I have seen them and the hooks may have been changed during its lifetime. It has seen minor use

I found some more in various patterns including frog, black, red/white, and the olive green/grey ones;

Some of these still have original treble with elongated stinger hook;

Check them out

Here's a couple more that arrived recently. The red/white one is hard to find and this one looks hardly used with really shiny spinners.

Frog pattern isn't easy to find either;





The froggie one has the extended treble reversed





Shiny hardware with #2 spinners - these are the mid sized PAD-LER
