HEDDON 747 IN BLENDED RED & PURPLE

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

An impressive 7 - 3/4” long, and not found in any standard catalog by Heddon, this was offered by VL&A as the Dowagiac Mascallonge Minnow. The bait was pictured in VL&A’s 1917 catalog, and the fisherman could choose between Green Crackleback or Rainbow. The example shown here is a very special lure in an uncatalogued special-order color. Brilliant red fading to purple along the back, a unique color no doubt for unique fishing conditions. Black hand-painted gills and the bellyweights are still sealed under paint. Both glass eyes on this distinctive Heddon Minnow are perfect and it grades an uncleaned Excellent Minus.

Condition: (Excellent-)

Item Dimensions: 7 - 3/4" length.
