Ice Fishing Equipment and Spearing Decoys

This is a Smaller Decoy from the Ely, Minn. Area that is noted for unusual forms and decoration and also the use of these Cheater Hooks that might catch a Fish rather than Spearing It. Generally a frowned upon accessory. This one has nice bright colors and accented with Playing Card Suite Symbols. Also, 4 Cut and Painted Tin Fins. Nice original condition. These are pretty scarce.
