This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/25/2025

Dating to the Spring of 1902, this box would hold the shorter Type 1 Casting Bait with the rounded prop. This box is all-original and can be seen pictured in The Heddon Legacy on page 201. There is some staining and edge wear, and the oak leaf label is nearly completely intact. One end is printed with DOWAGIAC “UNDERWATER” White, and the box bottom reads “Protect and Perpetuate the Black Bass”. This box grades Good Plus.

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