Was gifted to me. Any clue what it’s name and value is? May frame it with some others in a shadow box to display. [Linked Image]

I think it's an old Southbend prop bait. Wooden for sure.

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

I had a Bagleys topwater that had a similar shape, late 70’s. Cannot remember the name. You might scout out eBay for vintage topwater baits.

The value will be diminished based on condition.

I’ve got my Grandfathers old tackle box with some like that I’d be interested to know what they are as well. [Linked Image]

I think it’s a Southbend Oreno.

Sometimes I look at old lures and think how the hell did anyone catch fish with them. Lol

My grandpa caught a ton of bass with the black and white topwater in this pic and I cleaned a ton of crappie with the same knife. Brings back memories thanks for posting that pocture.

That is a lucky 13. There is a River runt and a lazy Ike in there too.

Go pick up a Hula Popper, Lucky 13, or Jitterbug, learn how to use them, and you might be surprised!

There are also a couple of Smithwick Devil's horse & a Paw-Paw topwater- maybe an underwater Paw-Paw also. You'd be surpised how well they worked . Thanks for posting that tackle box.
