HEDDON DOWAGIAC 100 1908-1910 RARE FULL RED BODY

This lure is very old and very rare, auction is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160601435716&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

This Heddon 100 is one of the earliest lures made by Heddon and this is a particularly special example. It is a full red body (very rare for a 100 of this date) with long sweeping gill marks, nickel plated cup rigs, 1 large belly weight, glass eyes in perfect condition and no writing on the propellers or underside, this dates it to between 1908 and 1910. I picked up this lure from an estate auction (does not appear to have been fished) and is an ideal addition to any serious collector's inventory. there is absolutely no rust on any metal, the paint has a few chips by the eyes but is in great condition overall for a 100 year old lure.
