This lot features three vintage Winchester fishing lures along with an additional feather-dressed treble hook. The lures include Winchester No. 9010, No. 9202, and No. 9017. Each lure exhibits classic early twentieth century sporting tackle design, constructed with metal diving lips or propellers, painted wooden bodies, and multiple treble hooks intended to imitate injured baitfish when retrieved through the water.
The No. 9010 displays a colorful painted body with yellow sides, red head, and green dorsal coloration. The No. 9202 is finished in a subdued olive-to-gold tone and features a metal diving lip beneath the head with double treble hooks for a streamlined presentation. The No. 9017 has a faintly painted body with a front propeller blade and treble hooks. The lot also includes a feather-dressed treble hook that could serve as a replacement hook or accessory for similar vintage lures.
Winchester Repeating Arms Company of New Haven, Connecticut produced a broad line of fishing tackle during the early twentieth century, marketing lures, reels, rods, and other sporting goods alongside their firearms and ammunition. Winchester lures from this era are valued by collectors of early American fishing tackle for their distinctive construction and association with one of the most recognizable names in sporting equipment. These examples show honest wear consistent with age and use while retaining their original character and appeal for display or collection.
