Item Details
Description
Coming with its very early 700 in pikie scale finish with bold, long hand painted gill marks, first version cup hardware, red in the eye sockets, unmarked lip and double line ties, shiny Ex-. The very rarely seen intro picture box is stamped with a large number 700 on one end, with general wear and warping, light soiling, and box bottom corners repaired. This exact lure and box are pictured on page 37 of "The Life and Legend of Sheridan R. Jones". A very short production 1920-21 combination.

From the Sheridan Jones Collection.

Referred to as "America's pioneering outdoor writer", Sheridan Jones (1881-1958) was certainly one of the most respected and prolific angling writers of his era. Many of the lures offered in this auction, where noted, were personally owned by Jones. Several were given to the esteemed author and outdoor writer for his professional opinion, others as gifts by lure makers vying for his favor. Stated best by author Joseph Hilko in his 2010 book
The Life and Legend of Sheridan R. Jones: "Jones' legacy as an educator, naturalist, professional writer and world-class angler is worthy of remembrance today".
