This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/9/2024
4” Length. Thin-body 150 with cup rig hook hangers and nameless pointed props, with solid glass eyes and a pair of hand painted gills. The hardware is exceptionally clean, and the rare aluminum finish is beautiful, with a metallic sheen up the sides, transitioning to a bluish-slate back. The belly weight paint is completely intact and the lure grades Excellent with a couple pointers and age lines. The “Killer” Wooden Minnow box is among the rarest in Heddon’s history, and it is thought that these were intended for distribution to secondary retailers. The box is solid at all seams and corners, is unmarked as to specific color, and grades about Excellent Minus. The combo dates to about 1908-10.
Item Dimensions: 4" Length.
