I have no idea what they might cost today. Red Snapper was made of wood ("BP" --Before Plastic!)and painted RED. SNEAKY, UNDERHANDED, DEVIOUS,& SURREPTITIOUS ITINERANT MOUNTEBANK

The rod is to long, and there is not cone shape on it. Why not clean it up with white vinegar and see if it can be restored. Whatever it is. If it broke, it is worth nothing much. Some collectors like to keep broken props. Dick, the Snapper sold for 25 cents in my day.

I am not really interested in discussion/guessing. I am interested in the NAME of this special snapper, and perhaps a resell value. thx And I will see a PM much faster!
