Complete! The Bucktail Surface Minnow from James Heddon & Son of Dowagiac, MI. was a very short-lived bait, first produced in 1907 and lasting for only a few years at most. This example, finished in the standard rainbow coloration, is about excellent- condition having overall general varnish wear and tight age lines. Bait retains most of the original bucktail tied treble hook! The bait being the most common part of this package, included is the very rare white pasteboard box (staining) and super condition box paper showing the #400 on the front side and the 100, 150, and new #50 ArtisticMinnow on the reverse. This early complete package is rarely found.
Item Dimensions: Box : 5" L.
