4 - 1/4” Length. This Dowagiac Perfect Surface Casting Bait and its box are in a remarkable state of preservation, and this exact combo can be seen in The Heddon Legacy book on page 67. Gold-washed cup and tail cap with red hand-painted friction-fit collar. Missing only a few flakes from the collar, the bait grades at least Excellent Minus, leaning towards Excellent. The box dates to 1902 - 1903. An important piece of early Heddon history that would be extremely difficult to ever upgrade.
Condition: (Excellent)
Item Dimensions: 4 - 1/4" Length.
