RARE Heddon GIANT RUNT Fishing Lure Musky SALMON Plug Closing : Jun-08-08 19:00:00 PDT CLICK HERE TO BID!

Outstanding and rare circa 1938 Heddon Giant Runt wood fishing Lure. The original finish in "yellow shore" color is remarkable. It measures 3 1/2" and includes the more desirable Giant Vamp glass eye type (as opposed to the later Teddy Bear eyes) suggesting it was made toward the earliest part of its 1938-1941 production period. It carries Heddon's famous heavy-duty toilet seat hardware and still retains it's original yellow bucktail.
The condition of this lure is amazing. It is difficult to find a Giant Runt in any shape, let alone one in excellent condition, as is this one. Most of these big lures simply didn't survive. If they did, they were bit by the big Salmon and Muskie, or knocked around in a tackle box. When one is found, it nearly always shows some rash of one sort or another. I have never seen one better than this one. It has perfect eyes, excellent hardware, nice bushy bucktail, shiny vamp-style lip, and even the nose and tail are without blemish. It boasts a breathtaking original finish with only some very light crazing to the varnish in places. You won't find one better!
