December 9, 2024 Fishing Lure
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/9/2024
An extraordinary pairing, the Flipper being extra-thick and fully 4” long, this bait was made special for bigger fish. With clear glass eyes and just a few pointers and lines, the lure itself grades Excellent-. The front whisper prop has come loose from its tube mooring, but this is possibly repairable, or at the very least easily replaceable. The box is in great condition and it is clearly marked “1809D Spe” on one end. Yes, the Crab Wiggler used model number 1800, but D (Green Scale) was a catalogued color, so an 1809D Crab box is not likely to have “Spe” on it. The 1800 Crab Wiggler was discontinued in 1929, so there is some possibility Heddon used the newly vacated 1800 model number somewhere around 1930 for the special-order Musky Flipper.
