Chrome finish. Reads faintly " Marsh Natur'l - 1 Pats pend " . Sketchy information as to when this lure was first made. I believe that these lures were probably first made around 1910 when W. G Marsh was about 42 years old with intentions of getting a patent for the lure. War then broke out and he probably abandoned his patent intents for a while. We later find his wife filing for a patent in the 1930's. Despite all of this information, these lures are really scarce and an integral part into a Canadian lure collection. At swap meets 15 years ago there would be 3 or 4 floating around the floor that nobody paid any attention, but now just trying to find one for sale at a swap meet can be a real challenge. Those 3 or 4 available a while back actually represented a good precentage of what existed as new finds are certainly rare indeed. Less than 60 known in serious Canadian lure collections. In 15 years of handling antique tackle I have handled only 25 Marsh Minnows as opposed to about 53 Delanys. Price: $155.00 CDN

Most likley made a few years after this date though. Sports rolled gold appointments attached into a vulcanized rubber compostite. 14 Karat nib. Keep in mind this is a DIP PEN and has no ink flow regulator found on 20th century fountain pens. Leroy & Fairchild were situated in New York City and catered to the world's elite at that time. This pen was all but unafforadble back over 100 years. It is a wonder that this pen is still a quality MASTERPIECE. Items like this simply do not disapppoint. Impossible to replace at this level. Probably a candidate for the finest known survivior for the type. Price: $625.00 USD
