Description: AWESOME ARTISTIC MINNOW!! “Circa 1907-1911” Model #50 in FANCY SIENNA CRACKLEBACK COLOR w/ BUCKTAIL. (Bucktail Trailer is in Superb and Very Sound Condition!) Overall this bait is in Spectacular Condition! The lure has never been cleaned… has 100+ year old dirt… Was taken from families earliest tackle box that was previously last opened in 1930s. The PAINT is 99+% there. Even has full paint still “on” the belly weight. Glass eyes are perfect condition and clear. Gold Plated Hardware is all Very Good! Just as rest of the bait needs a cleaning… The Artistic minnow was the only lure that Heddon ever used gold plating for hardware on. Very Rare Lure! Especially with the spectacular dressed treble trailer as this one… Cleaned up, this bait will be Exquisite, and in VHF Condition! “PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR A BOX AND WEIGHT!” (Which is what I had always hoped to do with it.) Any questions please feel free to ask… Please like our store, and check back! Many early baits to still be listed. Details in pics….
