HEDDON RIMLESS CUP SLOPENOSE WITH INTRO BOX

HEDDON RIMLESS CUP SLOPENOSE WITH INTRO BOX One of the rarest and most coveted pieces in this incredible collection. Dating to the first five or six weeks of Heddon production in early 1902, according to the owners of The Heddon Museum, there are currently three known examples of this introductory black box with silver printing. The box itself shows some even wear on the edges with one detached corner on the lid. The correct “chalky” white paint on the bait itself is showing wear as expected, as these very first baits came from the factory without varnish. You can clearly see the hand-painted, friction-fit, red-painted aluminum collar has been locked in place for over 120 years. Brass ties, tail cap, and most importantly rimless belly cup. It is reported that less than a dozen of these earliest Rimless Cup Slopenoses exist in collections today. The historical importance of this lot cannot be overstated, as precious few examples from Heddon’s earliest days have survived. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. 4" Lure Item Dimensions: Box: 5" x 2" x 1 - 1/4". Item Dimensions:
