Florida Artificial Bait Co., Jacksonville, FL

George Ettles of Jacksonville, FL was granted a patent for his jointed celluloid shrimp in 1931. The sections were cut out of celluloid, painted by hand and then assembled. The shrimp fishing lure was sold in two sizes - six joints and five joints. The lure also came with a single large hook rather than the two treble hooks. Smaller versions have also been found. They were probably modified by fishermen.
