What you have is a Paw Paw "Senior Wotta Frog" #73.
Date: C 1960.
The lure is a rare lure and highly collectible.
Thanks for your reply.
Very helpfull. What makes it a #73? looking online and can only find #72 and #74
Is this 73 more collectible?
Thanks
From the book I have, the number 73 is the only one with the metal brace at the end of the body.
If you post the size of the lure, I can check again.
I would think the #73 is the more collectible of the 4 lures that they made. This is the only one with the brace.
The size of the whole lure is 3" and just the body is about 2 3/4"
The ones that I have seen online have all had the brace ad the end of the body and those were 72s and 74s. Maybe they are wrong.
If you could get a a rough value on this little guy for me that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
