HEDDON BATWING DECOY IN BAR PERCH

This example can be dated to c. 1918 as it shows the transitional rigging of the four-loop pigtail line tie as well as the inserted tail fin. It comes in a Very Good condition correct-era box with some very faint code stamping on one end. The rare minnow has clean hardware and solid glass eyes. There are a few lateral agelines resulting in some varnish flaking and a little belly paint missing adjacent to the belly weights. It grades Very Good Plus, and judging from the nice condition of the metal, it was likely not fished very much. 4 - 1/4" Lure

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