Lot #1465:
HEDDON BAR PERCH MINNOW IN WHITE BORDER BOX
Heddon tried out several new packaging concepts in 1912, including this Downleaping Bass box with a white border. It would quickly be replaced by the red border box later the same season. The Dowagiac Minnows insert also dates to early 1912, and along with the box end stamp that reads 109-A, certifies this as a completely correct combo. The minnow is strong Excellent Minus with solid eyes, spotless hardware, and a small flake off the belly weight. The rare box and paper both grade Very Good. 2 - 3/4" Lure
Item Dimensions: Box: 5 - 3/4" x 2 - 1/4" x 1 - 1/4".
