Christian Steenstrup's patented fishing plug which he never capitalized on. He was so busy working on the GE refrigerator that he neglected to market this fishing plug, which featured an interchangeable body to suit the taste of different fish. Now the 17 year patent has expired, the plug is on the market, but Steenstrup derived no royalties.
