HEDDON ICE DECOY GOLDFISH IN CORRECT BOX
Probably made around 1926-7 when Heddon promoted ordering this bait “in any standard finish”. Goldfish is a standard Heddon finish, but it was never a catalog color on the Decoy Ice Minnow. Model number 409K is correctly stamped on one end of the Upleaping Bass box, which grades Excellent Minus or better, with just a little wear on the corners. The bait is an outstanding example of the “Four-Point” design, with spot-free hardware, perfect glass eyes, and fully sealed belly weights. Unlikely to ever be upgraded. 4 - 1/4" Lure Dimensions: Box: 5 - 3/4" x 2 - 1/4" x 1 - 1/4".
