1904 HEDDON MINNOW IN ONE-WAY SLIDE BOX

Here is an introductory year bait & box featuring the first model Dowagiac Underwater Minnow. The bait has unmarked props, good glass eyes, brass hangers & line tie, two sets of HPGM, and 3 belly weights which was the design only in 1904. A couple flakes with rings around the belly weights and oxidized hardware with a grade of Very Good Plus. It’s housed in what looks to be a correct, inaugural year one-way slide-top wood box with the thumbnail notch. The box is solid; however, the graphics have faded away over the years. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 2 - 3/4" Lure

Item Dimensions: Box: 5 - 3/4" x 2 - 1/2" x 1 - 1/2".
