AL-Foss / True Temper Bass POP with a wooden frog trailer.
History:
Al Foss, Cleveland, Ohio. Al Foss was a champion tournament caster who often frowned upon the larger lure manufacturer's giant, multi-hooked fishing contraptions. In 1915 he applied for patents on some of his earliest metal lures, which became successful fish-catchers for the subsequent three decades. Foss lures are rather common, and there were many versions made. American Fork & Hoe later absorbed the company, and the True Temper Lures (and other products) were the post WWII progeny of this very talented and innovative tackle maker.

Al Foss Lures are famous for its metal lures and a collector dream a lure come with a tin box.
