Strangely Satisfying Old Hand-knotted Net Bait Bag 1915 tin bluebird or at least a swindlerI believe this is an old bait tackle bag, for holding small fish used to catch large ones, though I think it could handle fish the size of any that I've ever caught!

In perfect structural condition, with no losses.
