Assistance With Lure Id Please

Picked this up at a yard sale recently. Any ideas of the manufacturer or name on this bait? Is this a crankbait or something more suited for topwater?

Is it wooden?  Looking at the lip, it appears to be a shallow diver.  Never seen a top water bait with a lip at that angle.  Me, I'd call it a collector item and not fish with it.

It appears to be wooden...my first guess is Arbogast, based on the design of the eyes...

Anything imprinted or painted on the bill?

Old shallow crank bait.  Metal lip, correct?

 

I got one similar from my grandfather in the spring.  Tossed it and caught a 2 pounder on the first or second cast.  I took a picture for my grandpa, and promptly retired the lure so I wouldn't lose it.

Looks sorta like a vintage Spence Water Scout.

I found the picture.  My bust - it is much different.  Mine swims with the eyes in the back and has much bigger bill

Lure has no markings...

I believe that is an old Poe's Cedar Wood lure. I am not sure on the date, but I believe they were from about 1980. Look it up and you may find a match. Good luck!
