Those things came both with an without weight. I think many were made with poplar or pine.If you find some you'll also notice the tails weren,t all the same diamiter like the Nantucket lures.
Hey swimmer, I have an original thats been used for a template in the past. No eyes, swivels or paint. I can send it to you to make a copy, just gotta promise to return it.
Take Biteme up on his offer, copying the original he has works great. I didn't use a tail weight and umaple was the wood I used. Pinning the swivels is different.
