Here are some of the different eyes that were used through the years.
The first one is a real old small swimmer with beads nailed in and painted black and yellow. The second one is 6" swimmer with that other style lip mounted lower like the one you have. These eyes are also a bead type. I have only seen a handful of this style. Most are like the other ones you will will see in my next post with the lip mounted so that the bend in the lip is near the center line of the plug.
These next eyes and the rest of the styles that I have seen are plastic with a small black post to secure them. They mesure 9-10 mm wide. They vary by color and whether or not they have veins in them.
Here are 2 more. The little blue one I think is from the 60's. I just got this one. I hadn't seen this eye type yet. It is plastic but it looks a little like glass close up. The other one is a popper with the amber veined style eye.
This last picture is kind of interesting. If you look closely under the lip there is some newspaper stuck to it. I always found this one neat because you can see that he used to dry these standing up on newspaper.
