Hook is a replacement or add on by the looks of it, however the whole lure is pretty much in gleaming condition and could be new and unfished in as new condition. Blades measure 1 1/8 " long each and resemble a matched pair. One is sterling silver or silver plated , the gold one is AT LEAST 14 Karat gold plated and has yet to be tested for gold or gold content . You never know with FS Graves as he loved using precious metals for his lures. This fellow dismantled sterling silver spoons and put his stamps on them and turned them into lures.
