Old CREEK CHUB TARPON PIKIE Fishing Lure Click HERE for more Antique Lures.

Here's a rare one - a Tarpon in Special color Day-N-Nite - and in the box with papers!!!

The lure is 6 1/2" long. Condition is excellent overall, with some age cracks & light dings. Right glass eye is fine but the left one is cracked.

Color paper catalog has a stain & is faded from some mildew, but may be cleanable - I don't know the process. No tears or rips though, and it's legible all around.

There's also a Creek Chub order blank, which is in good shape - soiled from being in the box, but no rips or tears.

Box is in good shape with light soil inside & out. There is some paper wear here & there, but all seams & corners are tight, with none broken or worn through. Boxtop end is marked Special C.C.B. Co. Lure, No. 4021.

A Heddon 740 punkinseed in goldfish color Click HERE for more Antique Lures.

A Heddon 740 punkinseed in uncataloged color goldfish. It's in super condition, it's hard to find with paint still on bellyweight. It has a tiny rub and a pointer. I think the rub was done at the factory. You can determine that yourself. This is a tough punkinseed in this color and would be a great addition to anyone's collection.

LAST & MOST RARE ONE-OF-A-KIND HEDDON MAGNUM HEDD PLUG Click HERE for more Antique Lures.

THIS IS THE "LAST" ONE OF THE "ONE OF A KNID" HEDDON MAGNUM HEDD PLUGS FROM THAT COLLECTION. THIS LURE CAME
DIRECTLY FROM AN EMPLOYEE OF THE HEDDON PLANT IN DOWAGIAC, MICHIGAN. THATS THE STORY I WAS GIVEN AND I'M STICKING
TO IT. THE FINISH IS A "SOLID BLACK"WITH NO HEDDON HEDD PLUG LOGO ON THE BOTTOM. IT HAS BEEN SCANNED TO SEE IF IT WAS
A "REPAINT" AND DETERMINED BY SEVERAL HEDDON LURE EXPERTS THAT IT "DEFINITELY IS NOT" A REPAINT, CONFIRMING THAT IT IS IN "ORIGINAL
HEDDON PAINT". PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I HAVE A REASONABLE RESERVE ON THIS VERY RARE LURE !
REMEMBER, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT AND I KNOW YOU WOULD BE PROUD TO ADD THIS TO YOUR HEDDON MAGNUM HEDD PLUG
COLLECTION. "MINT CONDITION" !

Heddon 740 Punkinseed Lure in Goldfish Scale Shore 9XSK Click HERE for more Antique Lures.

Vintage Heddon 740 Punkinseed Wooden Fishing Lure. This early "under chin line tie" Punkinseed is in the hard to find and elusive Gold-Fish Scale Shore-Minnow. This was never a catalogued color for the Heddon Punkinseed, and is about as hard a color to find as one in Rainbow. It measures about 2 5/8" long and has shiny two-piece hardware, lip and hooks. Condition is excellent-, with one very tiny pointer (behind the left eye), again, some very light (and I mean light!) edge wear around the mouth, and finally...a portion of the belly weight paint has popped. In this case the flaws really do sound worse than they appear, and please remember, the pictures of this bait are about 3 times larger than the bait itself, so features will be accentuated. Please see pics for flaws. It has not been cleaned and is in "as found" condition, but trust me....when this bait is in your hand, the flaws are not as amplified. And what a feeling to hold this extremely rare bait in your hands, all you have to do is be the high bidder ! I believe the official Heddon number for this bait is: 739XSK, or just XSK.
