The
little Heddon 20 or baby Dowagiac underwater minnow, in cup rig is the
first bait featured below with the correctly marked box.
Next is a 260 Surface Minny in L-rig. In production around 1934 to 1936, it is scarce in excellent condition.
And last, but not in anyway least, a Musky Surfusser series 350 in giant toilet seat hardware with the correctly marked box. Again, a short-lived lure and only available in the catalog from 1933 to 1936. |
