Nels Olson Snagless Fishing Bobber

Boxed examples of Nels Olson snagless bobbers complete with factory papers turn up on occasion.These early bobbers were Patented 9-17-01. They are easy to identify. The short metal plate extending from the end of the bobber is stamped Pat. 9-17-01. Check out my old Float page for more floats.
