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.
