1930's Detroit River Walleye Automatic Trolling Box. A braided brass line comes out of the hole in front. There is a leader with one or more McGinty type lures on it. The line is played out of the boat as the fisherman floats down the river. When the fish hits the Victrola type spring motor winds in the fish. The motor is wound with a crank which is included. These were popular during the great depression when money was scarce and fish were plentiful. Good original condition. 15 X 1 X 11 1/2 inches closed.
