I saw a couple originals and they didn't have eyes. One had hook hangers and the other one didn't. The ones I saw came from a person who worked with Ernest.

CS, can you post a picture of yours
Someone made a bunch or they were a small production lure.
Some were found on the Vineyard,and one from PA I think.
