Need help with an identification?

I am attaching pics of this fish slayer lol It's pretty heavy I would guess close to 3.5 oz. Its not that big but heavy wood, or possibly a ton of paint. I bought 2 of them a couple of years back at a fisherman flea market. They had dark yellow or orange paint (repainted many times) and google eyes the move in side the eye like those old doll eyes.

I lost one this past season after about 20 fish, and I am afriad to lose the last one I have. I repainted it myself into a blackfish pattern, I am not the greatest painter. But any help you can give in who made this lure would really help. One more thing, the guy I bought them from said he got them in the mid 80's and caught alot of fish on them.

Any help would be great, I do know that the google eyes were used back in the 80's by a couple of companies in New England.

Thanks,
