 The River Pup series 6564
was first introduced in 1934, available in five cataloged
colors. There are also many non-cataloged
colors to be found. It measured 2-5/8" with a weight of 1/2oz. The lip on this
lure was engraved with either "Honor Shakespeare Built" or
"Shakespeare PUP Honor Built". The 6564 series was discontinued in 1954?.
The Glo-Lite Pup series 6554 was first introduced in 1940, available in
six cataloged colors. It was offered in the
same size and weight as the River Pup, but it has a luminous substance molded into the
tenite body.
The Submarine Pup series 6544 was only offered in 1942, available in five cataloged colors. It measured the same as the
River Pup, but with a weight of 3/4oz. The lip is notably larger with an additional belly
weight and name printed on belly.
I am not perfect. If you see any mistakes, please email me. The images are
low resolution, but should give you a good idea. My Color Guides
are printed at a much higher resolution, which can be purchased.
